Two years ago I took my husband's advice and began my writing career. It was in one of my writing classes that I came across Story Circle Network. I was drawn to the idea of women nurturing women in their quest to write and share their stories. I joined SCN almost a year ago and volunteered to become one the of the SCBR editors. I have had dozens of articles and essays published in parenting and adoption magazines and my stories are included in A Cup of Comfort for Adoptive Families: Stories That Celebrate a Special Gift of Love, Pieces of Me: Who Do I Want to Be? and Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks Mom. I live in the Midwest with my four wonderful kids, ages 8 to 17, and amazing husband. I was a presenter for "Finding Our Stories Online" at the Stories from the Heart V. I am a columnist for the adoption network, Grown in My Heart, blog at The International Mom and facilitate classes for adoptive parents at Parenting Your Adopted Child: Tweens, Teens & Beyond.
