Welcome Louise!!
I am so happy to be re-connecting with Louise after all these years. We went to Junior High School together 36 years ago and now due to our High School reunion, we discovered that we both help families in different but similar ways.
Louise understands first hand the sorrow and emptiness of wanting a child so desperately; to hold and love and call your own but found herself unable to conceive. She could have filled buckets with tears due to the failure month after month. She prayed constantly for the desires of her heart to be met, praying for “A” child, it didn’t have to be her natural born child. Still the years dragged on and no child. Louise and her husband were getting ready to start the adoption process when a friend said to her “maybe it isn’t your time to start a family, maybe during this time you are to continue working with and helping other families with their finances.” So that is what Louise did. During this time she assisted many families. Several families were in the adoption process or getting ready to adopt and found her services invaluable. Louise was able to get their financial life in order so that there was one less thing for them to worry about. Louise also helped them make the necessary changes once they brought the children home.
During this time Louise was focusing on other families she suddenly found herself pregnant! It was a high risk pregnancy so she was on bed rest, but full of joy. An answer to her prayer; every day Louise thanks God for her daughter who they named Rachael. She has never forgotten the pain of being childless and that is why when I re-connected with her and discussed my agency, she wanted to help other families that has struggled the way she did.
I am so excited to be working with Louise! Louise sits down with families and helps them find the monies they
need to adopt a child of their dreams.
Louise has always been passionate about children in one way or another. At one point she even sold Discovery
Toys on the side thinking that this would be a good way to educate parents about the fun of learning. Then when Louise married her husband, Jim, 10 years ago and started working with Primerica, she quickly realized that what children need and want the most is time spent with their parents and their parents to not be fighting all the time over money or the lack of it. Louise quickly changed her focus of helping kids directly- but instead, assisting their parents to become debt free and financially independent.
As Louise spoke to me, she told me it was the most rewarding work to have the privilege of doing. Sitting across the kitchen table at a client’s house teaching them about how money works, planning for their future and helping them reach their goals. Louise does not charge for these services so they are able to work with families that might be struggling or families that have great wealth; either way the are compensated from the company. The service that Louise provides is a complimentary Financial Needs Analysis that looks at debt, budgeting, retirement, education, emergency fund, life insurance, auto and home owners insurance, long term care, goals and dreams. From this, Louise is able to make suggestions and help clients get a better value for their money. Louise is not here today and gone tomorrow, but instead she updates this information annually or when ever the client wishes to do so.
I am so glad to have re-connected with Louise and her strong desire to sit down with as many families as possible so that we all can enjoy a life filled with less financial pressures and make more time for family is an invaluable asset to have!

A testimony I would like to share:
To whom it may concern,
My husband Marc and I were trying to get our monetary situation in hand. We had adopted a child from China and we were looking to go back to adopt an older child. We met with Jim and Louise Deffenbaugh and they helped us streamline our money and get it working for us. They helped us to get straightened out and we were able to adopt not only one more child but two special needs children that are here and thriving. We really appreciate their hearts as well as their monetary skills. I highly recommend allowing their knowledge and kindness to help you with your future.
