CONTRACT STAFF

Susan Thomas  is the Nepal Adoption Specialist.

Susan is the adoptive mother of two children from Nepal and has a deep passion for Nepal, its culture, people, and most of all its children. It is through her long career in the fashion business and pursuit of her spiritual path that she was first introduced to Southeast Asia and its culture. Through the adoption of her own two children she gained first hand experience and knowledge of Nepal and the steps involved in facilitating such an adoption. Susan’s commitment and love for the children of Nepal is what drew her into the work as a Nepal Adoption Specialist, this work is truly her passion. Susan is dedicated to improving the lives of orphaned children in Nepal and supports these children when ever possible by coordinating Fundraisers to help with the children’s basic day to day needs and in assisting in improvement of their education.
