I am Christine.

I am a writer who occasionally still manages projects.  I am a corporate refugee project manager who raises two crazy beautiful Ukrainian daughters. I am a mom who tries to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I am a Christian who adores my husband. I am a wife who loves to write.

I post two to three times a week about adoption and orphan topics and making a difference in the world, with a little bit of fiction thrown in for fun. Enjoy new posts delivered right to your mailbox by entering your email address in the Subscribe field to the right.

For three weeks in August 2006, we hosted a bright, beautiful 12-year-old girl from Ukraine in our home.  Masha quickly became a part of our family, and we spent  the next nine months working to get approval from US and Ukraine to adopt her and bring her back home to Fort Wayne, Indiana.  In 2009, we did it again with Lena!

To learn more about how we decided to adopt, read about Hosting Masha.

Learn about our Five Weeks in Ukraine in the summer of 2007 to adopt Masha.

Learn about our Three Weeks Plus One Week in Ukraine in December, 2009 to adopt Lena.

  1. I’m just beginning to write about my memoirs. I think your daughters look like you! God bless you for being Jesus hands and feet.

  3. Christine, What a beautiful family you have! What a big loving heart!

    I have four children and 9 grandchildren. I give a lot to my family. Unfortunately, between Life, disabilities, and family responsibilites I cannot get farther than neighbors and needy friends. I also write. My book, Sailing to Ithaca: A year’s journey, nurturing body and soul, is in the last editing process and hopefuly will soon be out.

    Wishing you and your lovely family a joyous and blessed Christmas and a wonderful new year!
