Tina Kacirek, Founder, Executive Director, & TBRI Practitioner
Randy Kacirek, Founder

Tina and Randy started their adoption journey in Ukraine in 2003. After arriving home with their blessed new addition, they faced challenges and experiences that lead them to found Grace Haven. You can hear this story in Tina’s own words in the podcast below from Orphans No More. In the midst of their own battle, they knew the pain of isolation and rejection, and they knew immediately that they wanted to support others experiencing adoption. Tina became a TBRI Trained Practitioner in March of 2019, and she enjoys watching families grow together.

Cassie Beauford, Event Coordinator

Cassie and her husband, Zak, live in northwest Arkansas with their two rambunctious kiddos. Ella and Jak both entered their family through foster care. The journey to motherhood was unexpected and quite bumpy for Cassie. She experienced conflicting emotions, fears, and doubts that left her feeling isolated and unqualified. Thankfully, through the prayerful ministry of Grace Haven, Cassie found healing in Christ and connection with her children.

Krista Price, Womens Retreat Coordinator

Krista and her husband, Derrick, have been married for 17 years and have one sweet and spicy daughter, Kylee. Kylee came to them at three weeks old via private adoption. Motherhood took a dramatic and unexpected turn for Krista when, at the age of 7 months Kylee received two very unexpected medical diagnoses. Krista experienced extreme guilt over how deeply she mourned losing that perfect picture of what she thought her family would look like. She will never forget the freedom she experienced when the Lord, revealed to her it was normal, good, and even healthy to mourn the loss of what she thought would be. Through that grieving process, healing began and she was able to find new hope and excitement for her daughter and their family.
