When it comes to adoption… too many African American children spend years waiting for a family they can call their own.  This week we will talk with Traci Brickhouse, who was adopted as a child and is now an Adoption Supervisor from Norfolk Department of Human Services; Winter Savage, a young woman who recently graduated out of foster care, after spending years waiting to be adopted; and Ruth and Emmanuel Stewart, two adoptive parents who have a biological son but decided to adopt a little girl.  Join us for Another View as we discuss their experiences with adoption. Also, see how one woman used her own struggle to reach out to other women all over the world, this Thursday, July 2, at 9P on WHRO, digital 15.1.

Fatherhood

Stream Episode   
Video Download    

We've heard the statistics and seen the stereotype - that African-American fathers are incarcerated, on drugs, uninvolved or unmarried.  On the next Another View, we will shatter the stereotype, and introduce you to fathers who take care of  and love their children, and work in the community to love those without a dad.  Join us as we celebrate African-American fathers who are making a difference.  Our guests are Dr. Adolph Brown, Psychologist and father of seven; Mr. James Stokes, father of three; and Mr. Charles Haynes, father of four.  We'll also show you how the vision of one man has helped dozens of dads reconnect with their children through the Call Dad Program.  Join us for Another View, Thursday, June 18 at 9P on WHRO, digital 15.1.

School's Out...

Can you hear it...the collective sigh of relief from school kids as the summer vacation is just about here?!  But parents, teachers and caregivers know that it's critical to keep the learning going outside the classroom.  We have some unique and innovative ways to keep your kids engaged - and the great part is that they won't even realize they are learning!  Our guests include Martha Razor, Early Childhood Specialist with WHRO, Terrance Afer-Anderson, CEO of StageNorfolk, Inc., and Dr. Lisa Moore, Director of the STEM Summer Camp for Girls.  We'll also tell you about a woman on a mission to see that no child goes hungry this summer.  It's all on the next Another View, Thursday, June 11 at 9 on WHRO-TV, 15.1.
