Ms. Dorothy 'Darcy' Daniels, author of "Once Upon a Child," has been happily married for over three decades and is the proud mother of six birth children, five adopted children and an honored caregiver/foster parent of over 100 foster children.As a professional Pediatric Nurse, she learned early on that focusing on prevention was one of the best cures. This awareness provided the passion for creating one of the first Mommy & Me programs in the nation, where she taught hundreds of parents the importance of nurturing, attachment & play. This ultimately led to the development of one of the first Pregnant Minor Programs in Los Angeles County, where pregnant and parenting teens learned the importance of bonding, attachment and how to care for their infants all while completing their high school diplomas.Dorothy continues to live a life filled with purpose as the founder and Executive Director of Fostering UNITY. Fostering UNITY is a nonprofit, service organization that is dedicated to healing the thousands of children who have experienced trauma.
