Hi! i’m aurora
My story began in rural Upstate New York, and took me all around the globe, before landing in Sunny California.
Learn more about me by downloading and reading my adoption profile book.
Whether on the beach in San Diego, at an art museum in Paris, visiting Niagara Falls with my family back east, or traveling by camel to the pyramids of Egypt, I look forward to showing your child all the diverse riches this world has to offer.
My vision for my future family includes making art together, active play in nature, experiencing different places and cultures, and learning new things as a family. I deeply appreciate you taking a moment to get to know a little bit about my journey and, should it be the right situation for you, envisioning how it might become our journey.
ABOUT ME
I'm a Human Rights Lawyer, visual artist, fun aunt, trusted friend, and future mom.
My friends sometimes call me “the connectster” because I am always organizing family gatherings, initiating get-togethers with friends, and introducing people I know to one another. I have a strong friend network around the world and a close knit, supportive family, including a niece and two nephews who are super excited about the idea of a new cousin.
Having my own, independent legal practice allows me the flexibility to work from home, as well as increase or decrease my workload as needed. This enables me to balance my work life with my hobbies and with the people I cherish. While I certainly know how to accomplish serious tasks, I also love being silly and getting creative.
I value diversity.
My extended family includes citizens, non-citizens, and new citizens and we are welcoming to everyone. Tolerance, generosity, and kindness are rules I live by and hope to teach your child.
MY HOME AND FAMILY
My current home is in San Diego, though I also spend a lot of time in Upstate New York. Both locations have so much to offer. Here in San Diego, we have beautiful beaches, a large park with museums and a zoo within it, and a mild climate year-round. Mountains, desert, and the ocean are all within an hour’s drive. Back east, we have all four seasons, great schools, an extensive network of aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. When there, I like visiting Niagara Falls, spending time at the beaches along Lake Ontario, going to the Museum of Play with the children in my life, and playing board games with friends and family.
I Love Seeing my Extended Family Whenever I get the chance!
Most of us are a little nerdy. We love going to museums together, playing games, and discussing current events. We’ve visited everything from an abandoned coal mine to aerospace museums. Somehow, we always find something new to see and learn.

IN CLOSING
Thank you for spending your time getting to learn a Little about me and what I can offer your child.
Whatever choice you ultimately make, it will be the right choice for you and your child. If our paths align, I promise to share updates with you along the way, if that is your wish, so that you can watch your child grow over the years and explore this wondrous world. Your child will know their story, and that they are incredibly loved. Regardless of the level of openness you are comfortable with, your child will always know you and the courageous decision you made. Sending you my deepest appreciation and love.
