I have been writing professionally since 1999 and my clips appear 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).
Things I share: Most notably, my daughter's birth mom and I share our pretty incredibly daughter.
