The Blended in America podcast is about growing up in a non-traditional family, being bi-racial, being adopted, and the struggles of "blending in". It's a bold look at how we view ourselves vs. how we are viewed by others, why thats important, and what you can do to overcome the stereotypes of society and get on with the business of just being yourself.

My 22-year-old son was missing for 11 days after landing in O'Hare Airport in Chicago.  The relief of finding him was short lived when I couldn't see him and could barely talk to him because he was checked into the Behavioral Health Department of Roseland Community Hospital on Chicago's south side and no one could tell me why. This my real life account of what happened.
