About Sunshine

Sarah is a native Southern Californian that now resides in Jacksonville, FL with her husband and son they parent together. She is a writer, speaker and adoption education and reform advocate through her page, Adoption Education Keys. As a birth mother to two adult adoptees, both placed at birth, with the same couple, who are now divorced, in a semi-open/open adoption, she empathizes with women who make the heartbreaking choice placement is for their children. She holds a Bachelors degree with emphasis in Psychology and Pastoral Counseling and plans to get her Masters in counseling with emphasis in adoption and trauma. She is currently a contributing author through Lifetime Healing Foundation’s Knee to Knee program, the nation’s first post-placement care curriculum for birth mothers and a consultant, graphic designer at Emulate Yourself, class host and birth mother voice for the Back to Basics all birth parent education platform. She enjoys music, collects vinyls, loves dance parties, collaging, coloring, connecting, writing, game nights and any time spent with her family and friends. Her passions for people, healing and encouragement lead her to write and share her story through various platforms in hopes that others will not feel alone in their own journeys. Her heart pull is helping women see their worth, bringing them together to embrace their differences, flaws and uniquenesses, helping each other through life, standing beside one another in solidarity, accepting and loving those deemed unacceptable, educating in love and trying to understand the misunderstood.
