Mrs. Southeast International®

Shannon Devine - Mrs. International® 2010 - Photogenic Winner

1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
I’m passionate, accomplished, and committed to my faith and family. I want to share my message of hope through our adoption story and inspire others to never give up on their dreams of building a family. These qualities are the foundation of the Mrs. International® system, a true “Family Affair.”

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
To adopt Halle-Grace, I had to sign a waiver from the government stating that we would not return to the US for two years. Prayers and a caring Congressman made it possible for Halle-Grace and I to be reunited with Jason on US soil weeks after her adoption vs. years!

3.What do you love to cook and why?
A daily balance of love, laughter, and exercise is my winning recipe for good health. I love to swim, however, the greatest calorie consumption comes from jumping on the mini trampoline with my 2 ½ year old…while my inspiration definitely comes from my husband who has cycled across the US.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
Family values are a set of beliefs that are held dear and true that guide behavior and interaction within the family unit. My family believes that honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom, self-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue, and trust builds hope for the future.

5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
I’m a perfectionist to the point of annoying myself and sometimes others. Take these on-line questions for example; I examined every word, in every line of every sentence to the point of exhaustion in hopes that you enjoyed learning more about me. Did I type everything just perfect?
