Foreign Adoption Director

"My goal is to provide families wishing to adopt the knowledge and experience I have gained through both adopting 5 of my own children as well as helping hundreds of other families adopt internationally."

Diana Adams, international program director, has helped over 100 children a year to find loving homes in the United States. Diana became involved in facilitating international adoptions after going through the process in her own family. She is deeply committed to finding nurturing, secure, loving and permanent homes for children who have never known the love of a mother or father, and the safety and security that brings. Diana Adams is associated with Barbara Harle, another adoptive parent, in finding suitable prospective adoptive families.
