Pajk Family Adoption

CONGRATULATIONS Tony, Amy, and Anthony Pajk welcomed Layla, LaSya, and LaKing into their new forever family! The courtroom was full of love and support from family and friends alike. A record-breaking crowd came to support the Pajk’s with 71 people present in the courtroom and 30 entities via Zoom. DCCH team with Denise Govan, President, Ron Bertsch, Foster Care/Adoption Director, and Brittany Powell, Case Manager, Katie Tolbert, Therapist, Rebecca Sammons and Keisha Broering, DCBS Workers were in attendance to support the new family!

“Words could never express the deep gratitude we feel for our DCCH and DCBS teams. From the informational meeting until Adoption Day, the team has been there with unconditional support and understanding.

During our home study, I asked our social worker Nick, “Why do people go through DCCH vs the state? What’s the perk?” In jest he responded, “Because you get me!” At the time I nervously chuckled but he could not have been more accurate. We had heard horror stories of “the system” but never once felt that way. Our workers, and all of those at DCCH, have been honest, forthcoming, understanding and supportive during trainings, hundreds of questions, through frustrations, support group nights, festivals, etc. It has absolutely been an amazing fit.

Thank you for helping us find and grow our family “
