About Me
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

I have a question for you:
We contacted an adoption facilitator (we thought they were an agency) a couple of weeks ago. Origionally we weren’t going to go with them….
then they emailed Meagan about a very sweet birthmother who is to give birth to a cc/hispanic baby girl in Feb….very open to same sex couples (her sister is gay)…
My question is this - did you use an agency or a facilitator? What are your thoughts about facilitators as an adoptive parent?

Once again, my email isn’t letting me reply….so here I am lol.
We are with Adoptions of Kentucky. We’re a little irritated with them, since they’ve ‘promised’ us a couple of birthmothers already, only to never hear from them again, and to hear from them we have to chase them down. :/
Anyway.
I think I’ll post on adoptions.com - this facilitator in no way is overpriced, and the owner is an adoptive mother of 3. She seems super sweet *I know we could take that with a grain of salt*
I don’t think facilitators are illegal in Kentucky, I’ll have to check with that. Also, they offer 24/7 counselling for birthmothers, which I thought was a good sign.
Thanks for your input!
