Meet Robin Gordon

 
International Adoption Center (IAC) team members are (left to right): Barbee Sjodahl, pre-adoption administrative assistant; Dr. Mary Allen Staat, MPH, director; Robin Gordon, post-adoption administrative assistant; Kelly Hicks, RN, MSN, nurse coordinator.

Robin joined the IAC team in June 2004. She is the post-adoption coordinator, a suitable position since she is a mother of two children and can relate to the parents. Robin sums it up best — "Though Jennifer and Christopher are grown,we are very close and have been lucky to share tremendously enriching relationships with each other. I have always felt that I learned as much from my children as I taught them. All the new parents I work with are just beginning a wonderful journey with endless possibilities for positive encouragement and guidance for their children. This has been a wonderful experience... It is one of those lucky circumstances where everything 'gels' and the whole thing is propelled by the great chemistry. It is super to be part of a great team. I look forward to many more years together."
