      Your Other Mother is a podcast elevating stories of queer family-making, documenting the history of adoption by queer folks in Washington state in the 1980s and 1990s, and sharing the personal history of a person raised by two moms during a time when it was very uncommon for queer folks to be able to openly raise their children.

      Episode 1: You've Got Gay Blood In You
      Oct 9 2023

      On this premiere episode of Your Other Mother, I share what it was like to grow up raised by two moms in the 1990s and 2000s.


      Some terminology you'll hear throughout the episode, for those who may be unfamiliar:

      • "queer" is often used as a synonym for "not heterosexual," although this term has expansive meanings and interpretations. In general, "queer" connotes a rejection of heterosexual norms and expectations, and can be both a description of one's non-heterosexual sexual orientation and a political identity. "Queer" was historically used in English as a slur toward people who were attracted to people of their same gender, and has been reclaimed by non-heterosexual folks as an identity marker and a political orientation.
      • "cis" or "cisgender" means identifying with the sex you were assigned at birth. "Cis" is the opposite of ...
      • "trans" or "transgender," meaning identifying as a different sex or gender than the one you were assigned at birth.
      • "nonbinary" means not identifying as a binary gender, e.g., woman or man. "Nonbinary" refers to the concept of the gender binary, which posits that there are two opposite genders: male and female. Though this word has expansive meaning, it generally means that a person does not identify with a particular binary gender or does not identify as cisgender.

    • Episode 2: Queer Family-Making in Washington

      Episode 2: Queer Family-Making in Washington
      Oct 16 2023
      In this episode, I interview three incredible advocates who have worked in the adoption space in Washington state over the past decades: Washington State Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu, attorney and former court commissioner Eric Watness, and attorney and advocate Barbara Wechsler. We discuss the history of same-sex adoption in Washington state, legislative changes that empowered queer folks to form legal relationships to one another, and what the future might hold for the legal treatment of queer family-making.
