Meet The Facilitators

Emily Parkington, MSW Candidate

I work within the Pre-and Post- Adoption Services department, supporting families throughout the home study process. I am currently working towards obtaining my MSW at Columbia University.  I’m excited to be co-facilitating this group with James, as I believe that identifying and building support systems is integral to the adoption process. I look forward to creating a community through this group and cannot wait to get to know you all!

James Leary, MSW Candidate

I work within the Pre-and Post-Adoption Services department, with prospective adoptive parents completing international adoptions. In addition, I am a co-facilitator of Play Café, a group for adoptees age 6-9. I am currently working to obtain my MSW from Columbia University School of Social Work. I am happy to be co-facilitating this group with Emily because I have seen how beneficial support networks and community can be to parents involved in the adoption process. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone!
