Pregnant at 15, Sandy gave up her baby for adoption. 20 years later, she and her son were reunited, in no small part due to her advocacy efforts and work with Concerned United BirthParents and American Adoption Congress.

“My joy comes in working with people, talking to people, being a resource for people.” – Sandy Rogers

Resilient and capable, Sandy has always found her way, pivoting her career many times until, today, she works full time for a state agency and supports the holistic community she engaged in, through her Ask Sandy Rogers website. Everything she has accomplished is because she went after it. And, as she says, she “is in tremendous gratitude for her good Health”.
