Personal Life
Dratch was raised in a Reform Jewish family, and had a Bat Mitzvah, but is not practicing as an adult, and instead characterizes the faith she was born into as part of her cultural heritage.
Dratch met John Wahl, a California-based consultant in the natural foods industry, in a bar in 2009. Six months later, she became pregnant, and gave birth to a boy, Eli Benjamin, on August 24, 2010. In an October 2010 interview, Dratch told People that her pregnancy at age 44 shocked her, because she "had bought into all this stuff about, 'Once you're over 40...'", and had "gone through the whole process of letting go of ". Wahl has since moved to New York City to be closer to Dratch and their son.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
