Radio Interview Pt II

I did tape the interview yesterday. He wound up airing it that same day, instead of today, so I wasn't able to get the word out in time. It was not the station I thought it was, but it was a sister station, that airs on the AM side of the dial (1230AM, for local folks). The station on the AM side is a talk radio station. I am very thankful for the opportunity to talk about what we are doing and to get the word out. I do need to clarify something for anyone who happened to hear the short version of the interview yesterday. I was not trying to say that we are the only people interested in adopting minority babies. It sounded like that's what I was saying in the short version. I mentioned that I was the only Black person trying to adopt through our agency at this time and that's why things were moving faster than we originally expected them to. I talked about the process, where we were in the process, the cost, why is it so expensive, and the fact that our agency is a non-profit and they are not getting rich off the fees. I talked about our fundraiser on Saturday and explained what Zumba was and what we were doing and how people could help us or come to the fundraiser. Most of that didn't make it into the shorter version, however the man who interviewed me did mention my website and put a link to it on the radio station's website. A longer version aired today and that one had more information and focused on our fundraising efforts. That one can be heard below.
