I am a health/science professional who has always been interested in adoption and would like to make that dream a reality in next few years. I was lucky to have two parents growing up who provided me and my siblings with love and support and taught me to be a responsible, decent human being (or so I hope). My current home includes several adopted animals. When not working, I spend most of my time outside working on my yard and gardening, hiking, running, visiting nature preserves, and taking photos of landscapes and animals. I also love to read, work on cleaning up old furniture, and watch movies.
