We’re continuing our month-long celebration of dads with our Father’s Day show, “Fathers in Prison.” Our guests will be WeParent.com Fatherhood Freestyle columnist Mike McCrae and Britni Danielle, who blogs about her experiences at ThisSideoftheWall.

Dr. Mike, a clinical pyschologist and a single dad, himself, runs a psychotherapeutic group called Fathers In Training (FIT) for incarcerated fathers designed to build and strengthen their co-parenting skills despite their incarceration status. So, he’s going to share some of the insights he’s gained from his experience.

Britni Danielle offers a perspective from a mother who is co-parenting with a dad behind the wall. She and her child’s father are still in a relationship, but we’re certain that the insights she has to share will be valuable and relevant to parents who aren’t.

We hope you can join us this Sunday night at 9:30 PM EST.

Coming soon on “Co-Parenting Matters” June 27 “Odd Man Out: The Distant Non Custodial Parent vs. The Everyday Stepfather” with David, who blogs at InkogNegro 2.0

William Foster and his kids (ages 13 and 5)

This Sunday night’s “Bonds, Not Blood” episode  is the second show of our month-long FATHER’S MONTH celebration on “Co-Parenting Matters”.  Our guests are two dads, William Foster (above) and Brandon Wilson, who are each co-parenting children to whom they are not related biologically (Brandon’s son, William’s daughter). As such, they had no legal rights as fathers when their relationships with their children’s mothers ended (in Brandon’s case, in divorce).  However, these dads have been fortunate enough to remain active parts of their children’s lives.  We’ll talk with them about the importance of maintaining the bonds they formed with these children from infancy (William) and toddlerhood (Brandon) for over a decade, despite not being blood-related…even after a break-up.  We believe the stories of these committed dads offer insights and lessons for all co-parents.

Got a question or comment for these dads?  Listen in, call in to 646.378.0580, tweet us @coparentingshow, or leave a comment below.  We hope you’ll join us this Sunday at 9:30 PM EST!
