Transcription: 
My name is Jennifer Bliss. I'm the National Associate Counseling Director at Independent Adoption Center. I've been at the agency for about eight years. I was hired initially as a therapist for the birthmothers and found it to be a really good fit. Actually, I always thought I was going to be a child psychologist when I was growing up and wound up really, really, really liking adoption work and the psychology behind adoption and supporting birth parents and adoptive parents through the process. Actually, I just put together a couple years ago that when I was little, I had little brothers and most people probably made their little siblings play house and I made my little brothers play orphanage. And I thought that was totally normal until one day people started laughing at that concept. But I guess looking back, maybe it's always been in my blood, creating families and working with children who need to find parents. But whatever route took me here, it's definitely where I'm meant to be.
