I retired in 2024 after a long career in adoption focusing on domestic private infant adoptions and international adoptions after adopting two children via international adoption. I worked with families preparing them for adoption and then provided post adoption support services. I also enjoyed presenting workshops about adoption issues at local, state, regional, and national adoption and social work conferences. Since retiring, I am enjoying traveling, bicycling, going to Broadway shows, and visiting with my children, one of whom resides in Montreal and the other in the Netherlands. I still tell people how going to UM was the best decision I ever made.
