What an absolute *treat* this week as we chat with powerhouse Laura Leigh Hughes, LA-based actress and founder of The Unusual Suspects Theater Company, a non-profit serving youth. Laura is candid, funny, and shares her incredible journey of navigating the foster care system to adopt her now 15-year old daughter. And hot off the heels of her concert, Maria & Ann-Sophie share their lifelong love of another blonde performer and mom -- Madonna.

Join us as we talk:

• How the foster care system impacts thousands of children each year 
  
  
• The ins and outs of adopting through LA’s foster care system
  
  
• Systemic racism embedded in the system
  
  
• Unexpected bonds formed between a foster child’s different caregivers 
  
  
• Assumptions people make about adoption, and the challenges and realities of interracial adoption
