Welcome to this week's episode of Never Thought I'd Say This. I am one of your hosts,

Jodie Sweeten, as we know, here's the offer moment without you.

I'm Celia Behar, and I was laughing at you, because I can't look at you, and yet now it doesn't even matter,

because I don't look at you, and then I start laughing, because I'm not looking at you, because I'm 12th.

Right. We are the pinnacle of maturity.

But we are really, really excited this week. I have a wonderful friend here, who is so, I mean,

just could not be more of a never thought I'd say this, never nation or type of parent.

I'm so excited to have him on this week's episode. Welcome, my friend, Alec Mapa.

Hi. Hi.

I'm a parent. It's all for you, Damien.

Isn't that the truth? So tell us your parenting stats first. So we, everybody knows what my husband and I

have a one son. He's now 16 years old. We adopted him out of foster care when he was five.

And it was a foster to adopt situation.

It looked like he wasn't going to be reunited with his parents.

He's African-American. I would say my husband is white. I'm Asian. Our son is black. We look like the last two minutes from it's a small world.

He came to live with us when he was five. And it was really that situation. If I have to give this kid back, I'm going to jail.

It was really we were a family right away. I was a dad right away.

We met him at child protection services in Long Beach. He was sitting between two garbage bags. One had all of his clothes and one had all of his toys.

And he was sitting in the middle of them. And I was thinking, you know, everybody always wants a baby.

And I was like, well, this is a baby. This is a baby. This isn't a five-year-old. Because when you're five years old, you still need your mom and your daddy or two gay guys with a cute house.

And so we played. He's he looked at us and I said, hi, Malik. And he says, this is Jamie.

And he goes, do you guys want to play don't break the ice? Do you remember don't break the ice?
