Patrice Schmidt

I would like to take this opportunity
to introduce myself. I am the Owner and Founder of Unique Adoptions Inc. I am also an adoptive parent and the mother of two beautiful children. My husband and I were married eleven years ago and were unable to have our second child so we turned toward adoption.We also used an Adoption Facilitator to help with our adoption process.

I have been a certified Travel Consultant for fifteen (15) years, and have been very successful in linking the travel industry to my Adoption Service. I have been involved in adoption for several years, and have done much research into the process of Facilitating Adoptions.

I was raised in a very large religious family, with tons of nieces and nephews and grandchildren. I am very active in our church and donate my time to Outreach Groups and Teen Pregnancy Awareness
Programs.

My goal is to be able to bring families together -- to help in the process of building strong and loving homes for the many children in need of adoption. I believe every child deserves a place to call home, no matter what race, religion or special need that child may have.
