My Adoption Story
If you ever met my childhood best friend, she’d tell you I’ve always wanted to be a mom. In fact, since I was a kid, my dream has been to adopt. On top of that, for many years, I nannied for all different kinds of families, particularly those who had heartfelt adoption stories. And as a child psychologist, I have witnessed the positive lifelong impacts that foster and adoptive parents have on children. But more importantly, I know the impact of adoption firsthand through my daughter Arya. Three years ago, Arya came into my life via the foster care program. After more than two years, I was finally able to adopt her and make our family official! Becoming a mom is my greatest joy. I’m so excited to expand our family, and, of course, Arya can’t wait to be a big sister.
