My antiracist parent post this month

In: Adoption

It’s about the racist fee structure under which we adopted Madison and how I won’t keep this from her. I wrote it after a friend of mine said she would NOT tell her child that his adoption cost less because he is of African descent. I didn’t want to get into an argument about the [...]

Honestly I think the teleflora snafu is idiotic and ridiculous but it doesn’t make me nearly as unhappy as HB 7 going down. It just doesn’t offend me the way governmental prejudice against adopted people does.

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.
