About Us

Because we work throughout BC and it's not always practical for you to make trips in to the agency, we spend a lot of time on the phone with you.  For this reason, we think it's important to include pictures and short descriptions of who we are so that you know who you're talking to.

Jennifer Wall, MSW RSW
Jennifer is our Administrator of Adoption Services.  Jennifer spends most of her time on the phone with families throughout BC and answering questions through email, but she enjoys meeting you in person whenever possible!  Jennifer has worked with our agency for the last several years and has gained experience in all aspects of adoption.  Prior to this, she worked in the field of adoption with the Ministry of Children and Family Development for several years.  She facilitates Adoptive Parent Education Programs for the Ministry.  In her “spare” time, she enjoys scrapbooking, writing, genealogy, and travel. 

 

Marni King, RSW
Marni has been with Kelowna Community Resources since 1997 and joined The Adoption Centre team in 1999.  She spent several years as a birth parent counselor before taking on the role of Coordinator of Adoption Services.  She is extremely knowledgeable about both domestic and inter-country adoptions, and like Jennifer, spends most of her time on the phone supporting clients from all over BC. 
 

 

Marlene Procter
Marlene is likely the first person you'll talk to when you call and most people find that they look forward to calling again just to hear her cheerful voice.  She is the organizational backbone of The Adoption Centre and specializes in providing general information, registration, and all Adoption Centre specific paperwork.
