Dawn believes it is a privilege to come alongside women who are considering an adoption decision. She has worked in the field of unplanned pregnancy for 30+ years and now is the Director of Michigan Infant Adoption and Pregnancy Counseling. In 2009, MTV began following the story of one of Dawn's clients, documenting the pregnancy counseling and adoption placement by birth parents Catelynn and Tyler, in three reality shows: 16 & Pregnant, Teen Mom, and Teen Mom OG. These shows have exposed a new generation to the life-affirming option of adoption, the blessing of open adoption, and the ongoing journey through grief and loss. Dawn has spoken around the country on university campuses, sharing information about open adoption. Dawn is committed to serving staff and clients with excellence and joy! Dawn holds a Master’s degree in social work from Eastern Michigan University.
