Lotte and Stu are joined by guest host, Leon Wenham. Leon, who spoke about his own adoption journey in Series 1, joins the hosts and invites a friend Nathan Yungerberg from New York, to discuss when someone of one race adopts a child that is different to their own race, aka trans-racial adoption. Nathan, who is African-American, is the product of trans-racial adoption himself as he was adopted by a white couple when he was a baby. He is now a gay single adoptive dad to two siblings from a Puerto Rican and Italian background. Nathan and our hosts discuss how important it is to consider race, when it comes to adoption, especially in a trans-racial scenario and how that can impact your parenting style, understanding race from the point of view of an adoptive parent and why having diversity on an adoption panel is so important to the adoption process.
