Founder & President

Adrien began his career in business development, spending a decade working across healthcare, technology, and education. But in 2007, a mission trip to Haiti with his wife, Cynthia, shifted everything. The experience ignited a deeper calling and opened his eyes to the impact of showing up for vulnerable children.

For the next three years, Adrien volunteered with The Global Orphan Project, gaining firsthand insight into how powerful simple connections can be in a child’s life. In 2010, he felt a clear prompting from God to step away from the business world and devote himself fully to advocating for orphaned and abandoned children.

That calling led him and his family into foster care and adoption—and eventually inspired the creation of CarePortal, a Care-Sharing technology that mobilizes local communities to respond to the needs of children and families in crisis. Today, CarePortal is transforming lives through meaningful, real-time connections built on compassion, action, and faith.
