AWAS 045: An Interview with Al Coates

On this episode of Add Water and Stir, it’s a belated Dad’s day! To date, in 44 episodes, we’ve only had 1 father on the show (Episode 39: The Changing Face of Foster Care), Daryn who is a foster father in NYC.  Most of the content out there focuses on the voice of women in the adoption triad--whether its birth mothers, adoptive mothers and women adoptees.  The father’s narrative is often minimal and frankly, rarely heard.   So, Al Coates, our UK friend of the Add Water family joins us on the show to talk about fatherhood, adoption and foster care, transracial parenting and a bunch of other stuff! Al blogs at Misadventures of an Adoptive Dad.and we are delighted that he’s helping us take Add Water and Stir abroad with our first international interview.
