A wise man named Walt Disney once said, "Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future."

THAT is what we want to do at Funding Love: focus on the future and be willing to shift and change when growth is knocking.

On this weeks episode, Mal + Kate announce a break from recoding after over two years of consistent Monday releases. Tune in as they share what's coming next for Funding Love and the Funding Love Podcast.

The Book Club Crew is back together for PART 2 of "You Should Be Grateful": Stories of Race, Identity, and Transracial Adoption by Angela Tucker.

“Your parents are so amazing for adopting you! You should be grateful that you were adopted.”

Angela Tucker is a Black woman, adopted from foster care by white parents. She has heard this microaggression her entire life, usually from well-intentioned strangers who view her adoptive parents as noble saviors. She is grateful for many aspects of her life, but being transracially adopted involves layers of rejection, loss, and complexity that cannot be summed up so easily.

In “You Should Be Grateful,” Tucker centers the experiences of adoptees to share deeply personal stories, well-researched history, and engrossing anecdotes from mentorship sessions with adopted youth. These perspectives challenge the fairy-tale narrative of adoption, giving way to a fuller story that explores the impacts of racism, classism, family, love, and belonging.

This week, adoptive moms, Mal + Kate, along with adoptee and adoptive mom, Allison Olson, and birth mom, Jessie Mattos, loose all their thoughts on this compelling read in PART 2 of their Book Club discussion.
