Elle Cuardaigh is my pen name. I prefer to remain anonymous for the privacy of my family members. A native of the Pacific North West, living in the Seattle-Tacoma area, I drink a lot of coffee, read a lot of books, and watch the rain.
As an adoptee, I’ve been on a journey, both physical and spiritual, in finding family members for the past 30+ years.
I am a firm believer that access to original birth certificates is a civil right.
