### Meet Amanda Herron

![Amanda Herron - Unplanned Pregnancy Options Counselor](https://blog.gladneyadoption.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Amanda-Herron_300_300_s_c1.jpg?width=300&name=Amanda-Herron_300_300_s_c1.jpg "Amanda Herron - Unplanned Pregnancy Options Counselor")  
Amanda started working with Gladney as an Unplanned Pregnancy Options Counselor in 2004. She was blessed to have also worked as a House Parent and Child Birth Coordinator in [Gladney's Dorm](https://blog.gladneyadoption.com/shelters-for-pregnant-women-choosing-adoption). She left to pursue a Master’s Degree in Social Work, and returned to Gladney working as an Options Counselor in 2015. Deciding to reach out and inquire about adoption is a brave step – it humbles her that she has the opportunity to share information about the adoption process and making an adoption plan. Every situation is unique, and it is an honor to be surrounded by such courage throughout the process. Adoption is particularly special to her family as her husband is a Gladney baby!
