AWAS 010: Tenth-a-versary!

Add Water and Stir will focus on promoting adoption within communities of color, especially within the African American community.  We want to give voice and visibility to families like ours who often seem left out of mainstream adoption conversations.  We hope to educate others as we talk about our struggles and triumphs of parenting adopted children.  Of course, there will be time for Mimi and ABM will kick it about all kinds of not necessarily adoption related topics as well.

ABM is joined by guest host & foster mom Cristi and Michelle Hughes to discuss the immigration crisis that has resulted in nearly 3,000 children being separated from their parents after arriving at the southern US border. This crisis is especially triggering across the adoption community due to questions about legal status, childhood trauma, and family separation.

We know, we know! Add Water and Stir has been idle for more six months as Mimi and ABM have been out raising kids, starting businesses, doing research and in short living their best, and sometimes, stretched lives. On this episode of the show, the ladies get together to catch up and discuss a change that’s been a year in the making: Mimi is leaving the show.
