Annsley Atkin - Adoption Specialist (FL)
Hi, my name is Annsley Atkin and I work in the Florida office. I have my degree in Psychology and have been working in the adoption field since 2003. I enjoy guiding birth parents and adoptive parents through the adoption process and offering support along the way. Adoption is something that I hold very near and dear to my heart as I have an Aunt and Uncle who were adopted and two close friends who are birth mothers. I have great respect and admiration for birth parents and adoptive parents, because they are putting the needs of a child before their own. I hope to make this experience a positive one for you and promise to do everything in my power to support you.
