I was born in Darmstadt, Germany, to a German mother and father then relinquished to an orphanage. An American couple adopted me; one of 10,000 German children adopted by United States citizens during the 1950s-1970s.
My autobiography, Outer Search Inner Journey, is the first book written by a foreign born adoptee on the subject of international adoption. I've completed the screenplay adaptation to have Outer Search Inner Journey made into a feature film.
As an author, I have been interviewed on television, radio and the Internet. I'm an international speaker including keynote addresses at New Zealand's National Adoption Conference and Canada's Adoption Experience 2012 Conference.
