AN-YA PROJECT: CONTRIBUTORS UP-FRONT

Where were you born? Where do you live now?
How and why did you become involved with the AN-YA Project?
Diane wrote me a very kind invitation letter. I was busy with many projects and was hesitant at first because I am wary of how adoption narratives are sometimes constructed, especially when non-adoptees shape the construction. I respect this book, though--its mission, its editor, and its contributing authors. Diane was also patient with me. It is a pleasure to be involved with such a dynamic range of writers who “get” adoption and all of its complexities.
Tell us about a personal accomplishment that brought you deep satisfaction.
Being a father brings me a nearly indescribable satisfaction. I don’t know if it is an accomplishment, but my daughter is a source of profound joy.
Imagine you are sitting on your childhood bed. Look around your bedroom. What do you see?
Favorite book(s) when you were a child?
I love live music, live sporting events, live stand-up comedy and good films, travel and discovering new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends. I enjoy being near or in bodies of water.
What things do you not like to do?
Was there a teacher, for better or worse, who influenced your life’s path?
What projects are you working on now?
