My name is Caryn and I am graduating with my International Studies degree with a minor in Spanish in May. I am very interested in international adoptions and have been looking for adoption work for several years. My dream is to work with international adoptions. I am going to be living in the Pennsylvania/Maryland area and I am willing to work in any area of adoptions.
