Meet our Adoption Staff

Our adoption team is lead by Sarah Harpootlian. She earned a bachelor of arts degree from Oakland University and a master’s of arts in professional counseling. Sarah has more than 20 years experience working in youth ministries and is a licensed professional counselor. She joined the adoption team at Christian Family Services in 2019.

 Sarah is passionate about adoption and is skilled in working with pregnant women who are interested in learning about their options, prospective adoptive families, birth mothers and adult adoptees who are looking for information about their biological parents.

 Sarah leads our monthly Birth Mom Support Group for women who have made the very difficult decision to relinquish their child for adoption. The group meets the second Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8 p.m. at CFS’ office in Southfield. It is open to all women, regardless of what agency they worked with for their adoption and no matter when the adoption occurred.
