The FACTS group was founded and is facilitated by Macy Oosthuizen, LCSW (pronounced wist-hay-zen). She is a licensed clinical social worker and co-founder of Center for Mindful Families - an outpatient therapy center in West Palm Beach, FL specializing in children and teens. As a therapist, Macy specializes in working with individuals of all ages who are connected to adoption and donor conception as well as LGBTQ children, teens and adults. 

She is an adoptee and for over 20 years has mentored other adoptees of all ages, birth/first parents, adoptive parents as well as many others who are not biologically connected to the family that raised them (donor conceived folks, people raised in foster-care, etc.).

As a lobbyist, Macy has testified before state congressional hearings to help adoptees gain access to their original birth certificates. She has also met with many state and National representatives all over the U.S. to help our leaders understand the impact and importance of post-adoption issues.
