Linda is a Birth Parent Caseworker who began working for Adoption Associates in 2024. After obtaining her BSW from SVSU she began working with pregnant and parenting teens. She has experience working with children and families in the foster care and mental health systems, and has been a caseworker for individuals with developmental disabilities. She spent the last 20 years working in the nonprofit housing arena, but the pull to get back to her social work roots led her to Adoption Associates. As someone who was adopted herself, Linda has a heart for adoption and a unique perspective. She feels honored to have the opportunity to support birth parents as they navigate the adoption process. Linda and her husband have 4 children. Her hobbies include nature photography, cake decorating, baking sourdough and music.
