Helping to create acceptance, understanding and reality between Chinese and American children is her current focus.

She is also the bookkeeper for Meyers Limited Partnership a family farm corporation. Her most important job is being mother to her 12 year old son Quinten and 5 year old daughter Zoë. After adopting Zoë from Jiangxi China in May 2005 she decided to start Global Child Advocates. MaLeesa has always had a special love for children and the elderly.

In 2007 she decided to produce an integrated wellness video entitled Wellcome Home (tm) to help orphan children and adoptive families. She is also the moderator of three Yahoo groups and active in several local adoption groups.

MaLeesa is the co-author of an adoption book titled "Our Blessings from China" which has been released on Amazon.com. It can be purchased on Amazon.com

It tells the stories of nine families' journeys to adopt Chinese children. Each absorbing account describes the unique hills and valleys involved in the process and how it has forever changed and enriched their lives. Ride along with each family as they traverse the emotional spectrum from fear and frustration to bliss and joy as they meet their children and begin the miracle of forming a forever- family through adoption.

The book is a good book for people who are thinking about adopting, in the process of adopting, or have adopted and enjoy reading the experiences of others.
