Add Water And Stir: Women Of Color | Adoption | Foster Care | Parenting

On this episode of Add Water and Stir, Mimi and ABM had the opportunity to speak with Stacey, a foster mom and adoptive parent. Nine years ago, Stacey and her husband adopted a 4-year-old boy and a 14-month-old girl from an orphanage in a foreign country. Seven months into the adoption, Stacy began working with an adoption agency to dissolve the adoption and to find a new adoptive placement for her son. Stacey walks us through her family’s experiences, what led to the difficult decision and the implications for her son and the rest of her family.  In the Wind Down, we discuss the BET Awards, the Prince tributes and the amazing speech from the actor and activist, Jesse #StayWoke Williams.
