Singer, Mom of 11 Writes Book About Adoption

Monroe, MI. When it comes to singing the national anthem at a Detroit Tiger game, there is just no other rush of emotion, patriotism and excitement for Lori Couturier. A mother of eleven, (nine adopted from Russia and two biological boys) and female vocalist for the Cassens Murphy Band, she has a packed schedule. She gives a whole new meaning to the word full time Mom. Some how she managed time to write a book about her family’s first adoption of twin boys entitled “Fresh Paint, a Memoir of Adoption”.

Lori, who is married to Jeff, an emergency room physician, tell a heartfelt story about their first adoption of twins that eventually led to the adoption of seven other youngsters that they met on their frequent trips to Russia.  She has been speaking to local area organizations for the past five years about the adoption process in the land of Russia. Recently she spoke at the Southgate Rotary Club and gave a signed copy of her book for an auction they are doing later this month. Proceeds from every book benefit the children orphanages in Russia. She was asked back to sing the national anthem for the regional Rotary program in Southgate February 21. She will also be featured on Jack Krasula’s “Anything is Possible” program on WJR 760am on Sunday February 10th at 6:00pm.
