Today I am speaking with a blind homeschooling mother who has adopted two kids. She discusses life and parenting through the lens of blindness, disability and adoption.
About the Guest
Ashley is a wife, mother and writer who happens to be totally blind. She and her sighted husband are raising two children who are both blind. Their son also has cerebral palsy. Both their children were adopted from Eastern Europe and they are in the middle of their third international adoption.

She has worked as an adaptive technology trainer, as a summer camp director, at a group home for children in foster care and as a case manager in a homeless shelter.
