"Adoption Talks" Link Up

I’m participating in a blog link up entitled “Adoption Talks.”  Since I haven’t been writing as much as I’d like too, this gives me an incentive. And since I'm coming to the table a bit late, I'm going to keep it short and sweet.

My name is Candace.

I’m a birth mom.  I placed my newborn son for adoption in 1990.  We were reunited when he turned 18.  He passed away 5 years later.  Here’s the link to My Story. 

I’m married to my best friend.  We have a dog, but no children.

I’m a runner and general outdoor enthusiast.  As I age I’m becoming more comfortable in my own skin and more capable of getting it to do what I want (yay).

I’m a musician.  I sing, play guitar, saxophone, banjo, bass and dabble with violin.

I’m a metal smith, working primarily in silver and other precious metals.

I have celiac disease, which has enabled me to become superb cook.  I love to eat.

I like a good inexpensive red wine, cab preferably, but I’m not too picky.
