I am an Italian adoptive mother of two (one son, one daughter) from Russia. I am a writer and a professional about adoption, especially international adoption. I leave in Prato and work, as an expert, in Florence for a Center of Studies of the Italian government.

My last work was a guide about the new Italian law on adoption, and a book for children "Sasha and other friends", stories of international adoption. I work also for some agencies of adoption, to prepare and sustain prospective parents.

And I work in Milan, Rome, and other cities in projects of local administration to help adopted children coming from other countries.

I work for a new and more complete understanding about adoption in my country, where adoptee's needs are not yet considered like specific issues, and birthmothers are looked as ghost… and we have to change that.
