Meet the Staff: Julia Gray, BSW, our new Birth/Expectant Mother Advocate and Home Study Specialist! ❤
Here is a little more from Julia:
"I heard about Birth Choice’s new adoption agency in fall of last year and knew immediately I wanted to be involved in any way possible. At the time, I was able to volunteer while finishing my undergraduate social work degree at Union. Not long before graduation, I was offered a job in the agency. I took time to pray about it, learn more about the mission of the agency, and experienced peace that I felt was confirmation from God.
"My desire to work in adoption stems from my own ties to adoption through my three younger siblings. I am thankful that their birth mothers chose life for them by making an adoption plan; and thankful for my parents, who said yes to God’s plan and welcomed each child into our home with open arms and hearts. My mom and dad are models of courage and compassion; I reflect and marvel at their patience and selflessness in raising a family of seven children. My family inspires me every day to be a better sister, daughter, and Christian woman.
"For these reasons, I am humbled to have the opportunity to work in the dual role of Birth/Expectant Mother Advocate and Home Study Specialist. In this role, I will be able to assist on all sides of the adoption triad: Offering resources and supporting expectant/birth mothers through their pregnancy as well as preforming home studies with perspective families. I am incredibly grateful to walk alongside each individual as they follow God’s unique design for their life. My goal is to meet each client where they are, to serve them with empathy and integrity, and to remind them of their inherent worth as image bearers of God."
