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 and was reprinted in Adoptive Families); Brain Child (my essay “You’re Not the Boss of Me” about non-coercive parenting was reprinted in both Utne and Ode); 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 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).

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 is listed as a “best adoption blog” on Adoptive Families magazine web site and Guy Kawasaki’s Alltop.com, as well as several other “best of the web” blog listing communities. I also own and operate Open Adoption Support, a social networking site for families and individuals who support openness in adoption.

I am currently shopping a proposal about our daughter’s open adoption and am represented by the Doris S. Michaels Literary Agency.
