About
Adora Hooper's journey is one of resilience and triumph. Raised in the serene Sierra Nevada mountains by conservative Seventh Day Adventists, she faced a turbulent high school experience after leaving her mountain home and moving to the Oregon Coast due to her father's health issues. However, Adora persevered and graduated with honors, even earning college credits along the way.
In 2014, Adora relocated to Minnesota to be closer to her grandparents and pursued a Bachelor's Degree in K-8 education with a focus on Special Education. During her senior year of high school, she had already showcased her literary talents by writing and editing her first book, "Time In Space," which she published. Unfortunately, her life took an unexpected turn just months later when she experienced a severe psychotic breakdown and was diagnosed with schizophrenia by a psychiatrist. Devastatingly, she was advised to abandon her dreams of teaching and starting a family.
Facing immense challenges, Adora dropped out of college and nearly lost her relationship with her significant other in the aftermath of the traumatic experience. She grappled with her disability, learning to accept the limitations it imposed. However, with the support of professionals, her family, and the grace of God, she found the strength to overcome the voice that urged her to relinquish her hopes and dreams.
In 2016, Adora and her significant other enjoyed a spiritual ceremony in lieu of a traditional wedding soon after being baptized. The following year, they purchased their first house, and to their astonishment, they welcomed their first child despite being told that a viable pregnancy was highly unlikely. This unexpected blessing propelled them forward, and Adora's experiences in education proved invaluable as they navigated their child's disability and made the decision to homeschool.
Today, Adora and her partner continue to stand strong together. Adora remains dedicated to writing books and articles that raise awareness about mental illness and the significance of service animals. Her educational background proves instrumental in advocating for her children's needs, and she cherishes every opportunity to empower others with her story. With determination and a resilient spirit, Adora Hooper inspires others to defy the odds and embrace the beauty that can emerge from life's most challenging circumstances.
