I love chatting with my readers – they give me inspiration. You can friend me on Facebook, and join the fun there, or just send me an email, here.
I'm just getting started with Twitter but follow me and plan to see more involvement soon!

Thank you for visiting my site. I am an advocate for children, a mother, and an author.
After living in China for almost five years, I published my memoir, Silent Tears; A Journey of Hope In A Chinese Orphanage. The interest in my story makes it possible for me to continue my passion to make a difference in the lives of children in the orphanages of China.
Now I use my love and knowledge of China to write Asian-inspired fiction. I am also a volunteer director for AOW (An Orphans Wish), an organization that proudly supports children in China.
Using news articles, special interest stories, and fiction, I strive to bring the adoption community together with others who would like to learn more about China. Visit me on Facebook or write me an email. I love to hear your comments or share in your life experiences!
