Proud mother of two sons and a daughter, (Joseph, Nicholas, and Allie), Mother-in-Law to two lovely women, (Jordan and Carol) and grandmother to four amazing grandchildren, (JJ, Destiny, Olivia and Alani).  Cynthia founded Blessings through Adoption in.  Her lived experience in every facet of the system from a foster child to a foster mom to an adoptive mom (kinship) is what drives her passion for Blessings through Adoption and most importantly, for her love for Christ.  Cynthia has a vision for Blessings through Adoption’s future by building an organization where no parent will ever feel alone -offering services and community to all who need it, by opening a center.  She will not give up until her vision is realized.
