Faith
Faith earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services from Gordon State College. She did an internship at Covenant Care during her undergrad and became even more passionate about all facets of adoption.

In her free time she enjoys long walks, time with their three dogs, hanging out with friends and family, travel and having her head in a book.
Colleen
Colleen is an Army brat who considers many places home, but currently lives in Augusta, Georgia, with her husband, their two children, and a 12-year-old rescue dog from Guatemala. Adoption has always been close to her heart as both her mom and son were adopted. Colleen worked in Guatemala for 5 years after graduating from college. She served at a children’s home and later worked with families at risk of losing parenting rights due to extreme poverty. She is bilingual and able to serve our Spanish-speaking clients. Colleen has a Bachelor of Science in Child Development. She is passionate about ethical and moral adoption that ensures the best interest and outcome for both birth families and the child. Colleen loves spending time with her family, traveling, and attempting to garden.
Amber
Amber was born in Texas but has lived with her family in Athens, Georgia since she was in eighth grade. Amber graduated from the University of Georgia (Go dawgs!) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education. Adoption became very close to her heart after watching several close family friends adopt domestically, internationally and through foster care. Adoption is also a very special part of her own family, her husband was adopted at birth through a domestic adoption. Amber and her husband live in a small town just outside of Athens with their son and their two fur baby dogs. She enjoys crafting, baking, and spending time with her family.
Allison
Allison experienced a crisis pregnancy and abortion at a young age and found hope, healing, and redemption through Christ. In the 14 years since, she has led post-abortion support groups, been a foster parent, and worked at her local pregnancy center. She loves that she can offer encouragement, support, and assistance to expecting mothers regardless of their ultimate parenting decisions. Allison has a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, a Master's in Special Education, a Professional Certification from Florida State University in Trauma and Resilience: Level One, and a Professional Certification from Florida State University in Human Trafficking Prevention and Intervention. She is also certified in Johns Hopkins School of Nursing Danger Assessment (to evaluate risk of lethal violence in Intimate Partner Violence/Domestic Violence). Allison and her husband, Leonard, have five children. They also have one dog, four cats, a hamster, and a snake (not her idea). As a family, they love camping and anything outdoors. If it’s raining, you’ll find Allison indoors, buried in a good book or a puzzle.
