She now devotes her life to loving and supporting her strong and beautiful children as they bloom and grow. Toni is passionate about advocating for families to overcome the archaic methods that exist within the system, to reduce the layers of trauma that adoptees experience in their lives, and to challenge the systemic beliefs that “adoption is a fairy tale”.
