International Child Foundation Home Study Staff
We have a diverse team of talented, compassionate and professional home study caseworkers, many of whom are also adoptive parents. These are some of our key staff:
Marcy Gitt, Peggy Bartel and Jennifer Rosenfeld assist families throughout greater Phoenix. Marcy is a well-known speaker on Asia adoption and trans-cultural issues. Peggy is an experienced case manager in both international and domestic adoption.
Additional social workers in the Phoenix metroplex are particularly skilled at home studies and post placement reports for Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan adoption, and several have personal experience as adoptive parents.
Tracy Anderson helps families in the Prescott and Kingman areas, and as far as Lake Havasu City.
Jackie Semar, the Director, and Jennifer Bouton provide home studies for Tucson and southern Arizona families.
Jackie and Marcy are both adoptive moms. Jennifer is adopting from China and Jean is adopting from Vietnam. All of our staff have experience with child and family issues and provide education and support to families throughout the home study certification process.
Marcy is also a Birthland Tour founder, which takes adoptive families on escorted tours of China. Marcy is currently working on tours for Guatemala and other countries, too.
We care about your home study and adoption experience. Families recommend ICF highly. Please contact us for more information or an appointment.
