Precious Chong blogs about co-parenting alongside her ex and his new fiancee
I just came back from recording a story for CBC’s DNTO with Wes. The theme of the show was border crossings so we told the story about how Wes missed the birth of our son because they wouldn’t let him through the border.
What happened was, I was eight months pregnant and we were living in Toronto. I wanted to have the baby in Los Angeles for several reasons:
a. I still had my s.a.g. insurance
b. my son would get dual citizenship
c. Wes was doing a play in California and rehearsals started the week of my due date.
d. I only had a green card at the time and my interview for my own U.S. citizenship was scheduled to happen around my due date (I had forgotten this detail, Wes reminded me).
