About Me

My photo
I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.

STUCK


STUCK TOUR Coming through Dallas/Frisco area March 16th 

International adoption can be a long, lonely road.  Believe me, my family has stuck through it twice to adopt the same child from Colombia, and we’re still waiting to get through all of the bureaucracy and red tape in order to bring him home.  We met when he was ten years old, and now he’s already fifteen.  We're closer now than we've ever been, and yet we all still wait.  Our journey was a bit different and more complicated than most, but we never gave up hope.  We’ve visted his orphanage several times, and though given decent living conditions, access to education, and enough food to eat, he’s still one of the millions stuck there.  Stuck, knowing that there is a family out there that knows him, wants him, and loves him, yet can’t seem to get through this process quickly enough.

The STUCK tour is coming through the Dallas/Frisco area on March 16th only!  Join the movement to promote international adoption by purchasing a ticket to see the movie at 7:00 at the AMC Stonebriar 24 Theater in Frisco.  There will be a family event and a premier party at 5:00 in celebration of the tour.  STUCK is really a love story, demonstrating the steadfast love between families and children that have no family of their own. 

Be a part of this amazing event by purchasing a ticket, filling the theater, promoting it among your family and friends, or even signing a petition headed straight to Washington D.C.  Check it out for yourself at http://bothendsburning.org
