My [Māori] father was adopted into a tauiwi whānau so for both him and I growing up we didn't get to experience te ao Māori. I've learned a bit through study at uni and continued on in my mahi. I've just had my baby and I'd love for him to learn about his whakapapa, including the reo. We'll encourage him to be bilingual as much as possible. My parents are on board and continuing to push themselves in their reo journey too.
