Beth Bessinger is an adoption support specialist who received her Master's Degree in Social Work from Indiana University and her Bachelor's Degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. Beth has been with All Blessings Inc. since February 2021.
Beth has always felt a calling to personally and professionally be involved in the adoption field. Beth and her husband began the process of their child's adoption from the United States in 2017. She has developed a deep respect for the adoptive process and both the tough and wonderful journey it allows. She feels fortunate to have personal understanding of what adoptive parents experience. This has also helped her know how important it is to educate oneself on adoption and the possible needs of the adopted child.
Beth and her husband, Michael, welcomed home Asher in 2019 and are thrilled to be his parents. They enjoy time together as a family. Beth enjoys traveling, reading, Notre Dame Football and coffee shops.
