About Patty L. Rabideau, LCSW

Patty's initial work in the field of adoptions began when she was struggling with her own infertility problems. Adoption was a concept with which both she and her husband had always been very comfortable, so beginning the research on adoptions was very natural. During this process Patty met an adoption social worker with whom she kindled a close friendship over the next year. Ironically Patty was able to conceive a child but around the same time was approached by this friend who had made the decision to retire from the adoption field and expressed an interest in Patty taking over her business.

To this day Patty remains indebted to this friend for providing her with such an incredible opportunity to work in this field. The positive ending to infertility problems for Patty was not only having three beautiful daughters but also working in a career that brought families together.

Patty is a licensed Clinical Social Worker and an expert in domestic and international home studies. Patty received her Master's Degree in Social Work from Barry University in 1998. She has worked in the field of social work with children and their families since 1991.

She entered the field of adoptions in 2003 working with private adoption attorneys and adoption agencies, and does adoption home studies, birth parent interviews and counseling. Patty participates in the hospital experience to ensure a comfortable environment for the birth mother as well as the adoptive parents.

Patty understands that personal service is what adoptive parents seek. She knows how important it is to have the right kind of support all the way through.
