Christine Field
Biography
We (Mark & Christine Field) were married in 1986 and had the typical dual-career marriage. After practicing law for eight years, Christine left the work force in 1991 to raise the children full time. God has blessed us with four children thus far: three girls and one boy. Three were adopted and one is biological. We live and home school in Wheaton, Illinois, where Mark serves as Chief of Police.
