Jennifer Poss Taylor grew up in the West Texas area and graduated from Texas Tech University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies then furthered her educational and professional career working with children with special needs.   

Jennifer is the mother of three adopted children, two of which have special needs. She and her husband, David, live in Lubbock, Texas with their three children, Ashley, Grant and Brooke. The Taylor family is very active in their church and community.

She has created a very successful photography business and now she has discovered a new passion, writing.  What started out as a journaling process in order to understand her daughter’s condition turned into a way to heal herself and now it is a way to minister to other families struggling with raising children with special needs.  

Jennifer’s first published book, Forfeiting All Sanity, A Mother’s Story of Raising A Child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, will be released nationwide March 9, 2010.

She is currently being scheduled to speak at various locations around Texas in order to promote awareness in the areas of infertility, adoption, healthy pregnancies, fetal alcohol syndrome, autism and her abundant faith in her almighty God.
