A Quest for Surviving and Thriving
My Journey
My life has been shaped by two adoptions, foster care, abuse, neglect, marriage, divorce, unemployment, and raising two daughters as a single mother for 17 years.
Alongside mistakes and failures, I celebrate every success and small win.
Adoption brought constant shifts in identity, and through deep inner work I discovered my authentic self.
I understand the trauma and loss that adoption carries, and much of my work focuses on helping adopted individuals heal, reclaim identity, and become their best version.

My Work as Author:
I have published a series of children’s books designed to support emotional growth, resilience, identity, and self-acceptance. These stories empower children to heal and thrive.
Alongside the books, I created SAM, a soft toy companion, offering children comfort and tools to express their feelings. Together, these resources form KindRoots™ and the Adoption Journey Toolbox.
