About
I am retired from teaching and school administration. In my last position, I was the principal at Lindbergh Elementary School in Kenmore, NY. I was also an adjunct professor of education at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY.
My memoir, Young Love - An Adoptee's Memoir, describes the circumstances around my adoption and my search for my birth parents. It is a legacy for my family. Additionally, I aspire to help other adoptees who are searching for their heritage. I look forward to speaking at book clubs and libraries when the pandemic is under control.

Young Love - An Adoptee's Memoir
Young Love - An Adoptee's Memoir describes my lifelong, innate curiosity about my adoption. I was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and relinquished into foster care by my birth mother at six weeks. Adopted and raised in a family with love and support, I nevertheless became frustrated not knowing anything about my biological family and my heritage—and further frustrated when I learned what it means to have a “closed” adoption. As a young mother, I finally decided to ask for answers and began a 35-year search for my birth parents. My story unfolds with non-identifying information, library research, internet research, and DNA! Adoption search angels provided invaluable assistance and encouragement. My style is open and fresh. I shares my love for both my adoptive and biological families. This memoir will inform and inspire other adoptees who are searching. The answers are out there. Never give up!
