About (request update)

My passion is the law. Simple. I love children and believe that every foster child deserves a forever family and have dedicated my life to assisting them find one.

Current Whereabouts:

Currently, I am building a non-profit organization, Chosen For a Purpose, Inc., The Lucille Hawkins Foundation, which was created to honor my mother who adopted me at birth. I believe that children who are given away/adopted or left in foster homes, believe that they were "thrown away." It is my purpose in life to let each child know that they were not GIVEN AWAY or THROWN AWAY, rather, they were CHOSEN for a purpose, in which I will help them maximize and fulfil.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

To Be Better and Do Better.
