As a trailblazer in open adoption and a passionate advocate for single women pursuing motherhood, I bring a powerful and unique perspective to the stage. My expertise covers every stage of the adoption journey—from making the decision to adopt, navigating the waiting period, to building and maintaining healthy open adoption relationships...
…I challenge outdated societal norms that limit women’s choices and happiness. My mission is to empower women to create the families they dream of—regardless of their relationship status—and to support them in making choices that align with their values, without fear of judgment or penalty.
In today’s evolving social climate, my message is more important than ever. I offer transformational guidance paired with practical, actionable advice that resonates with diverse audiences. My holistic approach to adoption and parenting highlights the critical impact the early years have on a child’s mental, emotional, and spiritual development.
As a single adoptive mother, I speak from experience. I believe in creating nurturing environments that support the whole child—beyond just physical needs. My work addresses the emotional well-being of both the parent and child, laying the foundation for long-term health and happiness.
Whether your audience is exploring adoption, currently parenting adopted children, or interested in single-parent adoption, my talks offer valuable insights and inspiration. I understand the complex nature of parenting adopted children and the unique challenges single parents face.
I deliver engaging, empowering, and educational presentations that inspire transformation. Let me bring my passion, experience, and strategic tools to your next event—empowering your audience to embrace new possibilities in family building, adoption, and intentional parenting.
