Welcome

I have been writing professionally since 1999. In that time my byline has appeared in Salon.com (where my essay about my daughter’s adoption was chosen as an Editor’s Pick for 2006); Brain Child (my essay “You’re Not the Boss of Me” about non-coercive parenting was reprinted in both Utne and Ode); Huffington Post, Parenting, Yoga Journal, Wondertime, Adoptive Families, Bitch: A Feminist Response to Pop Culture and Greater Good.  My Salon.com essay also appears as “Sharing Madison” in Rebecca Walker’s anthology One Big Happy Family (Riverhead Press, 2009). I am represented by the Doris S. Michaels Literary Agency.

I have also written for Adoptive Families, Barnes & Noble/Spark Notes, and Disney’s Family.com. My essay, “Someone Else’s Shoes” appears in the book Mothering and Blogging: Theory and Practice (Demeter Press, 2009) and I am the co-founder and Managing Editor of Support for Special Needs, a social networking site for families raising children with special needs.

I am always interested in new freelancing projects and am actively seeking new clients.

I have been blogging at this woman’s work since 2001. My blog has been featured in Time Magazine, the Washington Times, About.com’s Parenting section, About.com’s Adoption section, and was voted “best adoption blog” on TheBump.com. I also own and operate Open Adoption Support, a site for families and individuals who support openness in adoption.
