Elsy Perez, BSW

Elsy Perez believes that family is created through love, commitment, and the beautiful connections that change lives. As a Houston adoption options counselor and outreach specialist at Legacy Adoption Services^®, she feels privileged to walk alongside families as they take one of the most meaningful steps of their lives.

Elsy earned her Bachelor of Social Work degree from Texas State University and has dedicated many years to serving children and families. She has years of experience working with foster youth and was a foster parent for 10 years. Her passion for children and families has also touched her own life in a deeply personal way: Elsy and her husband have had the blessing of adopting five children.

Because of her personal and professional experiences, Elsy Perez understands that every adoption journey is unique. She knows the joys, challenges, uncertainties and incredible rewards that can come with opening your heart and home. She brings compassion, patience, understanding and genuine encouragement to every family she serves as a Legacy outreach specialist and options counselor.

Faith and service are also important parts of Elsy’s life. She is actively involved in her church and has had the opportunity to participate in mission trips, working with children and families overseas. These experiences have strengthened her desire to serve others and have shaped the way she approaches both her personal life and her work.

For Elsy Perez, adoption is much more than a career. It is a calling. She is passionate about helping children find loving, supportive families and helping families discover the joy that comes from opening their hearts to a child. A part of our Houston adoption team, she considers it an honor to be part of each family’s story and is committed to making the adoption journey one filled with compassion, hope and support.
