“I cannot say enough about Erin as a mentor, consultant, and advocate. My husband and I were thrown into the world of foster care and adoption at a moment’s notice, and we were wildly unequipped to navigate this world on our own. The day my husband told me he had just learned his nephews were in foster care in another state, I immediately called Erin. She has taught us, encouraged us, challenged us, advocated for us, and more importantly, for our nephews every day since. It is through her that we were introduced to the world of trauma-informed care, and we have asked for her opinion on basically every major decision, every transition plan, and every best-interest question along the way. Her personal experience as an adult, transracial adoptee, and former foster mom, combined with her years of professional experience, is invaluable. Lord willing, all of our nephews will be reunified with their families, and we owe much credit for that to Erin’s guidance. ”
