My name is Meredith Rose and I am the Director of Open Arms Adoption Network. Working with the staff and birth and adoptive families of Open Arms is an honor and pleasure that I feel grateful for each day. I am the mother of two. My first child joined our family through birth and my second child joined our family through adoption. We are twelve years into a wonderful open adoption with my daughter's birth family and we are all so pleased to be connected in a relationship that our daughter enjoys so much. I have been working with families in the field of social work for 23 years and happily found my place in adoption 15 years ago. I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work and a Master's Degree in Public Health (Maternal and Child Health) from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
