Kevin Sherman
Josh has a passion for adoption. He is very committed to helping those who are looking to adopt a child, as well as those who are looking at their options with an unplanned pregnancy. Josh will take good care of you.
Dave Williams
Josh is a great guy to work with. As the Director of Marketing for a mid size adoption agency I found that both his professional and personal experience with our type of business to be invaluable. I really appreciate his ability to connect with our clients right away. His attention to detail and ability to anticipate potential problems before they happen has helped us improve our quality of service. The R House Adoption Consultants are a valuable asset to our agency. I look forward to continuing to work with Josh in the future and would highly recommend him.
