Getting to know Laura Carpenter

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in adoption services, including domestic, international, and foster care. My professional background spans both public and private sectors, and I bring a unique personal perspective as an adoptive parent. In addition to my work in adoption, I have helped many individuals manage psychosocial stressors and navigate a wide range of mental health challenges. As a mother to 15-year-old twin boys conceived through embryo adoption, I understand the complexities and emotional depth of the adoption journey. This lived experience enriches my practice and deepens my commitment to supporting individuals and families navigating similar paths. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based support to those seeking clarity, healing, and resilience. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending quality time with my family, friends, and our beloved pets—three dogs and a cat.
