Tina Andrews is an educator, lawyer, and entrepreneur, and the Founder and Director of Adore Family Services, Inc., a therapeutic foster care agency serving children and families across Northern Virginia and promoting adoption through foster care.

Born and raised in North Wales, Pennsylvania, Ms. Andrews graduated from Howard University with honors, earning a degree in Education with a minor in Special Education. She began her career as a teacher in Texas before pursuing law at Villanova University School of Law. After graduating, she trained under a family law judge and went on to distinguish herself as a family lawyer—successfully advocating for fathers seeking custody and championing the rights of disenfranchised families involved with child protective services. Her work focused on ensuring due process, fairness, and justice for vulnerable parents and children.

Ms. Andrews later transitioned into educational leadership, serving as Superintendent and Legal Counsel for a charter school district in Texas, while also becoming more deeply involved as corporate counsel and administrator for several nonprofit organizations. As a single parent and foster parent herself, she played an instrumental role in establishing a foster care and adoption agency in Houston, Texas.

Driven by a lifelong calling to serve children in need, Tina returned to the Washington metropolitan area to establish ADORE, where she continues to lead with compassion, expertise, and a commitment to family-centered care.

Ms. Andrews is the proud mother of two adult children and two grandchildren, and she currently resides in Virginia.
