Those Eyes...

Those eyes, looking past me, hesitant to make eye contact, afraid to hope... those eyes that track from just below my face to one of the babies...

That look, deep in those eyes, with the stoic knowing that our only interest must be in the babies...

Share a little about your adoption story
My interest in adoption began while supporting a friend making the choice for another couple to parent the child she was expecting. That experience led me to explore more information and resources about adoption during and after graduate school.

I add to MLJ Adoptions, Inc. 15 years of child care and child education experience, a master's degree in counseling, the experience of a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, training as an Adoption Specialist, Indiana family law trainings, experience as a Parenting Coordinator, and a heart to equip and prepare parents to create the best situation possible for each child.

My responsibilities include completing home studies and post-placement reports, teaching the Adoption Preparation courses for prospective adoptive parents and directing our Expectant Care program for expectant mothers.

Thank you Brooke. I like the phrase "Scrawl on your Wall" very amusing!!

Not too sure if I will be on here very much, as there does not appear to be much to do with the UK on it, however, as ever, I will keep sharing!!

Thank you Brooke and thank you for the invite to Adoption Voices. I haven't looked around much but I will.
Seeing you Sunday made me smile and made me sad (wish we were working with you regularly to proceed forward)!
