Young, Queer and Suddenly Dad: Billie Oh's Unexpected Foster to Adopt Journey
Manage episode 459797345 series 3552437
I found my way to Billie Oh via a beautiful article in the Huffington Post about their experience with Single Foster Dad Adoption.
Billie began the foster journey with no intention of adopting, but life had other plans. No stranger to the foster care system, Billie grew up having foster children in the home. In addition, Billie's aunt and mom (the great writer Jeannine Ouellette,)had been in foster care as children themselves. Billie felt a calling to help.
Suddenly welcoming a two year old into their home was a huge step. We talk about the chaotic first few weeks of bringing a toddler home as well as being a younger (20's), single, Queer parent and growing up trail by fire.
In this rich episode, we also discuss:
-Attachment bonding
-Navigating a challenging system: the surprises, realties, and delicate dance of it all
-Queer dating as a single parent
-Transracial adoption and parenting and its unique demands.
-Children with special needs, the importance of early intervention and utilizing all of the services available.
