| It was one late evening in June when things looked worse than ever. Yet, watching the fireflies eased my concerns--at least a little. |

About Me
My main passion is motherhood. My 8 kids are everything to me. I thank God every day for the family He gave me--for the one in which I was born, and for my kids (3 biological & 5 adopted). I'm a cradle Catholic, & find strength, comfort, & hope in my faith, which is an inspiring force to believe in, and campaign for, the right to life, equality, and social justice. My background is pure Italian. I had a very privileged childhood, with parents and grandparents who, on one hand, taught me all the etiquette rules, but on the other, and even much more emphatically, by word and example taught me that compassion and social sensitivity should always take precedence over socio-economic status and social profile. My 3 older children do for their younger brothers much more than any parent can imagine, expect, ask for, or even dream about. Rather than having to request their help, I need to remind them that they shouldn't do so much. They worked miracles on their younger siblings--or, actually, God worked true miracles on those little boys through my 3 older children. My Mom, now in Heaven, deemed the adoption expenses more important than her own health.
