As a Digital Editor of Love What Matters, I'm here to pull on your heartstrings and make you smile. After spending nearly six years as a Digital Reporter for ABC News' "Good Morning America," I'm thrilled to continue sharing touching and inspiring stories that the world is so craving. We can all use more love in our lives -- now you've found the perfect place to get it.
“I never pictured myself in such a place with any of my children that I may no longer have them.”
“Older children adoptions are said to have a ‘honeymoon period.’ That wonderful time where everyone is on their best behavior and all is right in the world. Ours lasted about 3 days. People have told me how lucky my boys are to have found us. I tell them they have it backwards. It’s ME who is the lucky one.”

“I felt a gush and immediately thought, ‘Oh my gosh, my water broke!’ I felt around and my hand was covered in blood.”
“You were designed perfectly, imperfect. You will make mistakes. Do and say dumb things. Have some regrets. But, you will also overcome.”

“She lost a baby girl just 11 months before I was born, after trying for years to conceive. To get pregnant only months after the tragic loss of a child was, in my parents eyes, a gift from God.”
“I couldn’t understand what I had done so wrong in my life to prevent me from having something that should come to my body so naturally.”
“He was making snarky comments about kids at school who shop at the Goodwill, and quite a few other things. I don’t tolerate that.”
