Mary Anne Buckles
Biography
Bob and Mary Anne Buckles have three children, all of whom were pre-teenagers when they joined the family through special needs adoption. Though the children are now adults, they are still working through the effects of their difficult early years and their parents are working to overcome a sense of failure at having had such challenging kids. Happily, from despair and bitterness, the Buckles have now moved to a new, more comfortable position as they see their children beginning to exhibit some of the values they tried to instill when the children were younger. Both Bob and Mary Anne teach in the public schools, and are active with the Open Door Society of Los Angeles.
