L.I.F.E. Adventures in Adoption with Anna Maria DiDio

<p><strong>Anna Maria DiDio, MSW</strong> is an adoptive mother and was inspired to write her memoir, <strong><em>Love at the Border, An Adoption Adventure</em></strong> after her own family journey to Mexico.  Now her <strong><em>L.I.F.E.* Adventures</em></strong> children’s books feature stories about adoption, foster care, stepchildren, and all blended families from the point of view of the child.  Anna Maria hopes that her books encourage open and honest exploration of what children are thinking and feeling within their own unique families. Anna Maria has a BA in Psychology from Villanova University and an MSW in Family Specialization from the University of Pennsylvania. For over twenty years, Anna Maria DiDio has devoted her time and talents to many non-profit organizations focusing on women, girls, and families globally. She is currently President of Women International Leaders (WIL) of Greater Philadelphia, which provides microfinance loans and empowerment grants to women in under-resourced countries. Anna Maria is at her most creative when she is traveling and experiencing new people, places, and things to eat and then writing about it! </p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>She can be found at home in Philadelphia walking everywhere, swimming laps, reading biographies, or baking chocolate chip cookies.
