EPISODE 70 - Mixed Chicks on Transracial Adoption




Mixed Chicks Chat show

Summary: This week we talk to Carmen Wolf. Carmen is a 38-year-old stay-at-home mom to 13-month-old Miles. She always dreamed of becoming a mother through adoption, since watching a docudrama in the '70s or '80s about a large family of mostly adopted kids with special needs. Carmen and her husband Mike started the process of becoming parents in October of 2006 and their son Miles was placed in their arms by August of 2007. They came to transracial adoption organically: After receiving several calls about babies that ultimately didn't work out for various reasons, they got word of an African American baby boy born in Ohio. Though Caucasian, Carmen and Mike had always had an open mind about their future child and - lo and behold - along came Magnificent Miles. The decision was a no-brainer. Off they flew from California to Ohio. That's when the biggest, best adventure of their lives began and continues to this day.
