Speaking

 

As a post-adoption support specialist, TBRI Practitioner, parent coach, and spiritual director, I speak on a wide range of topics relevant to adoptive and foster parents. I speak through the unique lens of being a birth mom, former foster youth, foster mom, and adoptive mom. 

Over the past twelve years, I’ve spoken to thousands of parents providing keynotes, breakout sessions, workshops, and retreats for faith-based and non-faith-based audiences. My deeply rooted faith in God equips me to speak with wisdom, transparency, and hope about the challenges and beauty of adoption. 

I have the honor of co-authoring The Connected Parent (with Dr. Karyn Purvis) and Reclaim Compassion (with Melissa Corkum). I’m also the co-founder of The Adoption Connection.

My husband, Russ, and I have been married 39 years, have 12 children by birth and adoption, and two precious granddaughters who fill our hearts with joy.

Most popular topics:

  • Reclaiming Compassion
  • Overcoming Blocked Care
  • Releasing the Dream and Embracing Your Reality
  • Caring for the Siblings in Adoptive and Foster Families
  • Courage and Endurance for the Race Set Before You
  • Real-Life Strategies for Building Trust and Attachment


I desire to meet the needs of your audience and will work with you to coordinate my content with your theme and particular needs.
