My wife and I are white. We adopted our wonderful African American children at birth. We strive daily to help our son grow up to be a confident, proud and loving black man and our daughter to be a confident, proud and loving black woman. I hope our experiences will help others who are doing the same.

What's Cooking?

Andria and I stumbled on to What's Cooking, a multi-cultural Thanksgiving Movie made in 2000 which stars among many Dennis Haysbert (I couldn't help but think of buying Allstate Insurance every time he spoke). Among the many things that struck me was the insistence of an African American Grandma on including Mac and Cheese in the holiday menu because it was traditional for their family. I realize whatever our menu for our children is will be their tradition, so I'm thinking of adding Mac and Cheese which wasn't traditional for Andria and I but might be a nice addition to our multicultural family Thanksgiving Dinner.
