Sarah Hofland, LBSW
Iowa Home Study Coordinator
Sarah Hofland has a Bachelor’s of Social Work degree from Northwestern College. She has worked in the field of adoption since 1998, but adoption has always been a part of her life. She has five siblings, three of whom joined her family through international adoption. Two of her siblings came as infants when she was a toddler, and her other sibling came at the age of 5 when she was in junior high. Her mother also works in the adoption field, which she has done since Sarah was in elementary school.
Sarah and her husband have four children and enjoy attending their dance competitions, volleyball games, and softball and baseball games.
