LCU graduate fulfilled career dream with adoption agency
For A-J Media
When Ellis was an infant, she was adopted through a Dallas-based agency called Christian Works for Children.
After graduating from Cedar Hill ISD in 1999 and earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work, Ellis became the director of Adoption Works for Christian Works for Children.
“It was a pretty surreal feeling to be chosen to work as a director of the same adoption agency that my biological mother chose to work with and that my parents applied to adopt from,” Ellis said. “I felt like I was giving back to the community and helping families and children by putting them together. I would have never dreamed as a child that I would get to do that one day. That was a dream that came true.”
