Kathleen Guire

Kathleen married Jerry Guire in 1985. Early in their marriage, they purposed to adopt. After three biological children, God began to tug on Kathleen’s heart and remind her of that vision. In 1998, Kathleen and Jerry were chosen as National Parents of the Year and celebrated in a reception in the nation’s capital. Shortly after receiving the award, Kathleen and Jerry began the adoption process. The Guire family traveled to Poland in November of 1999 to adopt a sibling group of four. The new Guires came home in February of 2000.

Kathleen has spent the past several decades homeschooling, co-founding a homeschooling co-op, teaching women’s Bible studies, and leading an adoption support group, “Positive Adoption.” Kathleen has written Positive Adoption: A Memoir chronicling her childhood story intertwined with the story of the adoption of her children. She has also written the Adelina’s Adventures series, Five Things: A Tiny Handbook for Adoptive/Foster Families, 25 Days of Thriving Through Christmas: An Advent Devotional, and The Case of the Missing Person: A Sera Craven Mystery.

Kathleen is a certified Empowered to Connect Parent Trainer, which relies heavily on the model TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) created by Dr. Karyn Purvis and her colleagues at TCU. You can find more about her on her author site at kathleenguire.com.
