Episode 142: Mama C and the Boys

www.mamacandtheboys.com: This blog is devoted to issues of transracial adoptive families, single parenting, racial awareness, story telling, self observation and how all of these become part of the writing life.

The story we explored in today's podcast is unusual in the very clear decision our guest made to enter into the Mixed experience.  We find that many of our guests begin their journey through some outside circumstance - falling in love with someone of a different race, grandparents of children who chose to enter the experience, or children of parents who made this choice.  Today's guest is the one who made a specific decision to explore race, single parenthood and adoption all at the same time.  Here is a little bit of her story:

Thanks Kristina & nice to meet you here. We just learned about Moms of Hue from Catherine and are really happy about the work you're doing too.

Hi, I have to say that I love your show and am a loyal listener. I am parenting a mixed chick. I am also Co-Founder and general doer of it all at Moms of Hue. Catherine is an amazing woman with wonderful insight. Her writing has been a wake up call to me and so many others about not just parenting a child of mixed heritage but for parenting all children. Thanks for this amazing interview.
