valerie dixon:  

I now live in Modesto, California. I was previously married, living in Sonora for 19 years. Prior to that, I was married to Jess who was born in Ada, OK, but came to the central Valley as a baby and lived in Modesto for many years. I have lived in many states and have travelled all over the USA, seen all the states except 10. I have been overseas many times, my first trip to Greece was in 1985 when I was searching for my birth family!. I am divorced and have two beautiful daughters and two grandsons, Matthew & Nicholaus. I attended Turlock High School and my last year was at Southgate High School in the Los Angeles area. After coming back to the Valley, I attended Modesto Jr. College earning a degree in Sociology & also classes in Columbia with an emphasis in literature, WWII & political science. I also took Greek classes at the Greek Orthodox Church of The Annunciation (Intermediate Greek). Currently, I run two organizations, Patras Orphans & Blue Sky Greek Adoptees World Organization, helping other Greek adoptees find their birth parents/family like I did in 1985....Expand for more
