Adrianna began Home Visiting in June 2016 right before the birth of her son Rey, participating until July of this year when Rey turned 3. While in the program, she moved, got married and managed a household of busy children. Throughout this time, Adrianna was an eager participant, unafraid to ask questions, learning, growing and gaining confidence as a parent. When asked what she valued most about the program, Adrianna said, “Just being able to have company and someone to talk to. I still had a lot to learn.” She thinks it is a good program and recommends it to other parents. Congratulations, Adrianna!
