EMILY BARRETT

Director of Operations │ Lowcountry Office Manager

Emily began handling adoptions in 2009 as an adoption attorney, and is a member of the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA). Emily found her work to be rewarding, but at the same time frustrating as her ability to help the expectant mothers was limited in what she could do as an attorney. After feeling that God was calling her to focus her work on serving these young women, Emily joined Adoption Options, Inc., in 2019 knowing Carri has the same heart to serve, and is excited to see this ministry grow.

Emily is a graduate of the College of Charleston, with degrees in U.S. History and Studio Art, and Cumberland School of Law. In the community, she is an active member of St. Michael’s Church, volunteers with 40 Days for Life, and previously served on the board of the Charleston Miracle League. Emily enjoys photography, cooking and spending time on the water when she can. She resides in Charleston with her husband and son, who is adopted.
