Here's a bit about Mark from his website:
"My own experience as an adoptive parent since 1994 has also reinforced my belief in the need for increased pre- and post-placement support and education for parents. Like all adoptive parents, much of my and my wife’s experience was trial and error—especially in that we had not been parents previously.
I have learned a lot over the past three decades! I have “walked the walk” of experiencing both the mountains and valleys (and everything in-between) of the adoptive parent life.
It is my passion to pass on what I’ve learned to other adoptive and foster parents. Thus, in 2018 I concluded my time working in the mental health field to begin Adoptive Family Resources (AFR). AFR is an initiative to provide support, resources and ongoing training for adoptive and foster parents in both the pre- and post-adoptive periods."
