Carrie Thomas, M.S. | Managing Director of Programs
The Managing Director for FAC, Ms. Carrie Thomas, has been in Brevard County since 1980, serving the community with numerous previous position in social services. Carrie recognized the need for an adoption agency with wraparound services, including support, education, resources, and empathy and felt called to make this a reality. She formed Florida Adoption Center, LLC (FAC) in 2012 and has been proudly serving birth parents and adoptive families ever since.
Carrie obtained a bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and a master’s degree in Psychology from Capella University. She has specialized experience in family strengthening services, providing behavioral modification and behavioral analysis services, substance abuse education, homeless prevention services, and therapeutic foster care home study services.
Carrie has a passion for adoption and for helping others. She believes that all parties in adoption should be treated with compassion, empathy, and respect. Her goal is to support expecting/birth families experiencing an unplanned/unexpected pregnancy by giving them choices like whether to parent, place them in relative care or make an adoption plan, and supporting them in their decision. She also aims to help guide adoptive families through their adoption journey and join them with an expectant family in a warm, loving and supportive environment.
Carrie shares a life with her husband, five children, five grandchildren, and many other family members. She enjoys sailing, camping, hunting lighthouses, attending classic rock concerts, kayaking, and visiting springs throughout Florida. Carrie values God, family, and friends. Known for her compassion, honesty, and integrity, Carrie has a joy for life and a sense of fun!
Tiffany Spence | Adoptive Parent/Waiting Family Coordinator
Tiffany joined the FAC team in mid-2019 with little knowledge about the adoption world. She dove in headfirst and has enjoyed learning everything she could about adoption services. Coming to FAC with 20+ years of combined experience in Customer Service and Administrative Assistance, Tiffany has been a major asset to the team. She has done work with FAC in administrative, information security, social media, and website updates.
Tiffany loves working with the waiting and adoptive families. Helping them through the process of growing their family gives her that warm tingly feeling, and she says that the love and compassion felt when working with these families could change the world. Being a part of the growing relationship between the expectant birth parents and the adoptive parents is one of her favorite parts of the job. Tiffany was born at MacDill AFB in Tampa, FL, but as an Air Force brat, she has lived in Florida, Japan, and Colorado. Since starting with FAC, Tiffany has completed her AS in Business Administration and is on track to complete her Bachelor of Organizational Management by the end of 2022.
