~ Fleur Conkling Heyliger
Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously My own.
Never forget
For a single minute:
You didn't grow
under my heart
But in it.

Deciding to adopt is a life-altering decision. It is extremely important that you feel comfortable and confident throughout what can be a very challenging process. You deserve only the utmost comfort, respect and sensitivity, and I am dedicated to offering you experience, personal attention and emotional support as you prepare and plan to fulfill your dream of having a family.

Helping you build your family through adoption is the heart of my services. I am committed to assisting Florida families by providing agency and independent, domestic (Florida and interstate) and international home studies; counseling for adoptive parents, birth parents and adoptees; and pre- and post-placement counseling. The process of adoption demands guidance, insight and thoughtful consideration from a licensed professional. We will work as partners; I will come to your home and educate you about your available options, assist with all paperwork and procedures, and am able to give you the counseling and support you need, whether you are considering adoption of a child or placement of a child for adoption.

Bringing an adopted child into your family is a blessing, and I look forward to meeting you and giving you the caring, personal, exceptional service you deserve as you begin this new chapter in your life. I will help you transform what can be a challenging experience into a beautiful, joyful and memorable celebration.
