Guest Biography
Marlene Strege works as an occupational therapist at a school. She and her husband, John, have been married nearly 25 years and have an 11-year-old daughter, Hannah. In 1997, the Streges learned they could not bear children naturally, and the couple pursued adoption through the Snowflakes Frozen Embryo Adoption Program. Born in 1998, Hannah was the first "snowflake" adopted through the program.
