Meet Our Adoption Social Workers
Anita Stevens – Founder 
I am married, the mother of three children who are grown and married and the grandmother of nine. I have a Bachelors Degree with a double major in Social Work and Psychology. I worked for another adoption agency from 1987 to 1992 when I decided to begin Family Connections,Inc., So I have over thirty years of experience in the adoption field. This experience has included domestic adoption placements in New York and in many other states, placement of children internationally from the United States to other countries and from other countries to the United States, and the preparation of home studies for over twenty-one different countries. I have worked with families who have adopted newborn infants to teenagers. I have traveled to Guatemala, Vietnam, Russia, and Kazakhstan and helped hundreds of families prepare their international dossiers. I am truly passionate about helping families and available children find each other, fall in love and work through the attachment process of adoption.
