About Me

It has been a struggle for me to not just identify myself as a mother. This estrangement has taught me that my true identity is found in Christ, NOT in what I do or how my relationships are going. I love to write, have one book and 3 poems published. I am now working on my second book about not internalizing and identifying ourselves by the names we are called, the way we were and are treated, or by my failures. A couple years ago I found and reunited with my birth siblings, lost my new found sister from cancer 6 months later. In my adoptive family I was the oldest, in my birth family I am the baby. Interesting experience, the baby with 3 older brothers........I am 53 years old. I am also working on a book about our reunion and all of our lives as children. I was the only one adopted, they were all put in different foster homes. Sad .... So sad........
