Julie Stromberg

Born, adopted and raised in the Northeast United States, Julie reconnected with her natural parents and families in 1998. Since then, she has applied her lifelong experience as an adopted person to conducting critical analysis of global adoption practices.

A current resident of central Pennsylvania, Julie is a contributing board member of Pennsylvania Adoptee Rights. She writes about the adoptee experience as Co-Editor, Contributor, & Media Columnist of the collaborative blog of adopted women, Lost Daughters, and on her personal blog Life, Adopted.

An award-winning copywriter and digital content strategist, Julie holds a bachelor's degree in Journalism from Loyola University Maryland. Her essays on the adoption experience and industry have been published online and in print. When she isn't raising awareness about adoption reform, she is spending time with her husband and two sons--usually at basketball, lacrosse, or karate practice.
