So you’re considering adopting a child. The different types of adoption are confusing. You are overwhelmed by information, and the learning curve is steep. You might be wondering how you’ll pay for adoption or how your family will adjust to the presence of a non-biological child. I can help. Let’s talk.
My servicesMy name is Erin Patterson and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker living in Austin, Texas. I have worked in social services for more than 17 years, 12 of them focused on the various types of child adoption. Most recently, I worked as the Director of Adoption at a nonprofit here in Austin. Unlike many social workers, I was lucky to live and work in orphanages in 3 developing countries. I feel strongly that working across the spectrum of adoption has given me a unique perspective that allows me to better serve my clients.
Having worked in international adoption, domestic infant adoption, foster care and post adoption support services, I know exactly how confusing the process can be and would be honored to guide you.
