About me
I have had a passion for children since I was a child myself. I know decisions made by children can be powerful. Important choices I made as a child included, deciding to become a teacher as a first-grader, to deciding to adopt after completing my first big research paper on adoption, as a fifteen-year-old. In their innocence, children’s intentions and potential can be as powerful and lasting as a redwood seed.
Through fostering, I get to experience different cultures and wonder what lasting decisions these innocent children might be making. My prayer is that they not be broken by their storms. May my home be a shelter where children are tended lovingly and allowed to grow so the winds of life will strengthen them. I want to restore their faith in love so that they can dream from a place of confidence and safety.
