Sabra Starnes, LICSW, LCSW-C,LCSW, RPT-S,M. Ed  - Speaker & Author

Sabra was adopted as infant in a closed adoption. Growing up in a transracial family in the Midwest had many joys and challenges. Sabra and her family experienced racism and discrimination as a transracial family. Sabra learned to persevere and be a strong advocate for herself. And at a young age, she knew she wanted to help others. She is an adoptive mother of two sons.

She provides adoption counseling using attachment-based therapies connected with expressive therapies. She facilitates a  monthly foster and adoptive support group, and ‘Love and Logic’ parenting workshops.

As an expert adoption therapist for the past 23 years, she has the personal experience and professional training to work with families who have been touched by adoption and foster care. She is a strong advocate for children who are in care to have permanency or reunify with their birth families.

UnChain My Legacy

Pain. Denial. Struggle. Poverty. Disappointment. We all make choices, and sometimes we immediately see the results or consequences; some good… some not so good. And, some have a devastating effect on those we love for generations to come.

What do we do about those?

In Unchain My Legacy, each author exposes the truth of their stories; revealing the decisions that have threatened to shackle them, along with the future of their children and their children’s children in a never-ending chain of bondage…

It’s time to break the links; to look our choices in the face and say, No more.
