Castle Hayne woman named state's social worker of year
While working more than 40 years as a social worker with 35 years with the New Hanover County Department of Social Services, Swart's passion has been responding to the needs of children in the field of adoption and foster care.
She has been active in various statewide meetings, especially in the areas of adoption recruitment and legislative concerns. She has also been a valuable resource for adult adoptees searching for background information, birth parents wanting to learn about their adult adopted children and adoptive parent through support groups.
Swart volunteered as a field instructor for bachelors and masters in social work students from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and East Carolina University.

After earning an MSW, she obtained the ACSW (1981) and LCSW-NC (1992) credentials. At the Spring 2009 State Adoption and Foster Care Annual Meeting, she led a workshop on the process for clearing foster children for adoption.
