Her first novel The Other Shakespeare earned an honorable mention in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards.

Lexy, Nicole, and special guest Monique discuss Joy Ride and the unique experience of Korean adoptees growing up in white families. We disagree on the humor based on personal taste and our appreciation of raunchy comedy. We all enjoyed the more serious and heartfelt aspects of film. We delve into a discussion about the experiences of Korean adoptees especially the difficulties of interracial adoption and how that affects identity. Lexy recommends Nimona, Nicole recommends Uncoupled, and Monique recommends Cassandra in Reverse. Website Store YouTube Facebook Group Page  

How To Be an Anti-Racist in Adoptive Families with Lanise Antoine Shelley "It's vital to feel a sense of connectivity to your name, to your environment, and to the people that you choose to love." - Lanise Antoine Shelley If you're an adoptee who's feeling a constant sense of disconnection and confusion as you try to fit into a world that doesn't fully understand or appreciate your unique transracial adoptee experience, then you are not alone! Many adoptees may find themselves struggling to navigate their identity, grasping at societal norms and expectations that do not align with their true selves. Despite their efforts to assimilate, they may still face rejection, ignorance, and a persistent feeling of being othered. This painful reality often leads to a deep yearning for acceptance and a strong desire to reclaim their authentic identity, free from the confines of societal expectations. And if you're an adoptive parent in an interracial or intercultural adoption, open your heart up to some possibly uncomfortable but extremely important truths about race in this episode. ===============  

Tara Roof was recovering from a hysterectomy and living paycheck to paycheck when she was invited on a mission trip to China. She learned how many children with special needs filled the orphanages—she was heartbroken and drawn to go.  Tara was told she would offer her professional services as a Speech Pathologist to the children. While Tara never rendered these services, God planted a seed that would change her and her family's lives forever.  When Tara returned to America from China she prayed and asked God what He wanted from her. God answered clearly that He wanted Tara and her husband to adopt a ten-year-old boy with Down Syndrome who was affectionately named, “The Mayor.” While Tara describes herself as someone who is Type A and likes to be in control, God has transformed her heart and helped her loosen her grip. This has enabled Tara to love more fully than she ever could have imagined.     

In the Peacock documentary, Handle With Care, British actor Jimmy Akingbola shares his personal experience of growing up in London's foster care system. His father disowned him as a baby. The actor's mother, who suffered from schizophrenia, abandoned him and left him inside an office building when he was 2 years old. Akingbola then found himself in foster care and was raised by a white family for over a decade; but as a kid, he felt ashamed and embarrassed to be seen with them while in public. Join us as I SEE U host Eddie Robinson chats unguarded with acclaimed actor, Jimmy Akingbola. The star of the reimagined, serialized hit drama, BEL-AIR, reminisces about the joys and challenges of growing up with the Crowe family while wondering if the love he possessed for his biological siblings felt mutual. Akingbola also offers up insight into the importance of understanding cultural identity and embracing one's own unique gifts and talents, as performing runs deep in his family. His older brother, Sola Akingbola, is a percussionist for the Grammy-award winning band, Jamiroquai; and his niece, Fola Evans-Akingbola, is a British actress and model who plays a Secret Service agent in the acclaimed Netflix series, The Night Agent.

But let’s talk about the experiences, joys, challenges, and responsibilities of parents who have adopted cross-racially and internationally. How can I affirm my child’s identity as a member of a certain community and as a member of our family? How can I emphasize the beauty of adoption? How do I love them well? Join us for a conversation with mom, MOPS director, and adopted daughter Sara Lane for this week’s episode of the Car Seat Questions podcast.

Recently I supplied a checklist of issues to consider in a transracial adoption. In this video I would like to talk about five blessings and five challenges. Personally, I have been blessed beyond measure by my adopted children—as well as by my birth children. Having children of a different race and ethnicity has enriched my life in more ways than I can count, but let me share a few with you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/phil-mitchell7/message

Dr. Catana Tully's incredible story shows how an exotic child adopted into a White family learned to overcome painful racial confusion, misplaced identity, poor self-image, and fear of abandonment to lead a meaningful and significant life. Through the years I was often encouraged to tell the story of my ‘fairy tale' life. However, not until reaching my late forties, when I became increasingly at odds with myself, did I discover that what seemed magical to others was not necessarily so. Eventually, I discovered issues more important than details of my life I needed to share with a larger audience. https://selfdiscoverymedia.com/2016/07/05/tsm1629-interracial-adoption-racism-and-lost-identity-with-catana-tully/

In this episode, I spoke to Nicole Bray about her interracial adoption (also known as transracial adoption) story.  Nicole is married and lives an adventurous life with her husband in Alberta.  Her motherhood journey started with attempts to get pregnant before she and her husband married. In their early years of marriage, they relocated from Alberta to Texas and continued with their plans to start a family.  After a failed cycle of IVF, then the use of donor eggs, and the attempt at adoption, they learned about foster parenting to adopt.   Nicole shares her unique story of how she was blessed with a baby.  The baby she brought home is African-American and so we had to talk a bit about race and what it means to raise a black child as a white woman in Canada.  Take a listen and be inspired. I hope this helps someone today.  If you would like to reach Nicole, you can find her on Instagram @heynicolebray.  To reach me, you can email me at isabel@motherhoodafter35.com and on Instagram @firsttimemomsbeyond35.  Thank you for being here. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/isabel-prosper/support

I like to look at them as when they're little as little living Zen masters that are sort of parachuted into our lives to push all our buttons and see how we're going to work with the challenges they throw at us in addition to, of course, having to put food on the table, pay the rent, build a career, have a loving relationship, you know …"

Seemingly, The hit show This is Us is quickly becoming a recurring topic on the podcast. In the show a white couple adopts a black baby and Bobby asked the furnace whether or not we would do the same. Inevitably the discussion evolved into one about racism and when, if ever, it can be justified... We rounded up considering traits we would adopt from religions other than Christianity. In this week's hookups I talked about the Google Auto app which provides a unique interface customised especially for driving. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.projection.gearhead Bobby suggested an Anime series with a title that translates to Your Lie in April, A slice of live anime about a piano prodigy who as a result of a curse his mother placed on him could no longer hear the notes he plays https://ww5.gogoanime.io/category/shigatsu-wa-kimi-no-uso And Mo suggested a youtube channel that provide really incredible Animated content that addresses Bible stories, topics etc https://www.youtube.com/user/jointhebibleproject Lastly Check out Mo's Vimeo channel on www.vimeo.com/hmuseh We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing, and if you don't, please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing.
