We are honored to share the story of Irene, Founder of St. Nick’s Kids, Inc., whose remarkable career has shaped countless families across generations.

Irene began her legal career in 1984, practicing maritime law in Texas. Though the work was demanding, her heart led her back to Florida, where she began assisting with adoption cases at a small civil firm—work that would define her life.

Under the mentorship of Linda Hochberg, she learned the quiet courage of birth mothers and the deep responsibility of building families. When Linda passed away, she entrusted her adoption practice to Irene—a gift that forever changed her path.

Then came the call that changed everything.

A priest from St. Nicholas Cathedral urged her to accompany two little girls to the Immigration & Naturalization Service. Though she knew nothing of immigration law, his simple words—“You are an attorney—you must”—launched her forty-year journey in immigration and intercountry adoption.

Self-taught in a developing field, Irene became a trusted national voice. In 2000, INS invited her to its intercountry adoption training as the only non-government attorney. She later spoke more than one hundred times on the subject, guiding others in the careful work of uniting families across borders.

Her expertise carried her worldwide. She represented the United States at a World Congress in Spain, was honored as an Angel in Adoption, and traveled with USAID to Armenia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan to promote child-centered adoption systems.

In 2019, she founded St. Nick’s Kids, Inc., an accredited nonprofit devoted to intercountry adoption. Today, she is gently stepping back from leadership but never from advocacy.

Irene remains, as always, a fierce and compassionate champion for children and families. 🤍

We’re proud to introduce Jyotika Acharya, Executive Director of St. Nick’s Kids, Inc.

Jyotika’s journey with the concept of family began over 20 years ago, when her own family expanded through adoption. She recalls, “As I got to know my teenage adoptive brothers, our bond formed naturally and wholeheartedly, as if it had always existed. That experience showed me that family is not only what you are born into — it can also be something you choose.”

For Jyotika, the power of choice in family relationships is profound. “When people choose each other, the relationship is rooted not in obligation but in intention. That choice carries emotional weight; it says, ‘I see you, I value you, and I am committed to showing up.’” Through her work at St. Nick’s Kids, Jyotika has deepened this understanding by witnessing how essential support and resources are for families to thrive and sustain their commitment to their adoptive children.

“My experiences, both personal and professional, have reinforced for me the power of family — and my hope is that every child has a safe place, a home, and a family — however it’s defined — to call their own.” 🤍

Please join us in welcoming Jyotika Acharya, whose leadership continues to strengthen the mission of St. Nick’s Kids, Inc.
