Problems with Geometry collections. (Fiona: write output of Multipoints and Points)

I am getting the following error on this function:

ValueError: Record's geometry type does not match collection schema's geometry type: 'Point' != 'MultiPoint'

The problem is that I have multipoints mixed with regular points. When I try to write the outputs at I get a schema confusion problem.

I've tried to draft the happy path, but I'm not getting why it still seems to be clobbering itself...the function 'move_point' will return a single shapely object (either Point or Multipoint) that I am attempting to write to out_file/output...I though the 'if' catches would navigate this, but apparently not..

    def process_file(self, in_file, out_file, compare_file, dist):
    # open input file and compare file
    # loop over each
    with fiona.open(in_file, 'r') as input:
        with fiona.open(compare_file, 'r') as compare:
            meta = input.meta
            # The outFile has the same crs, schema as inFile
            with fiona.open(out_file, 'w', **meta) as output:
            # Read shapely geometries from file
            # Loop through all shapely objects
            # type(item) = 'dict'
                for item in input:
                    my_shape = shape(item['geometry'])
                    # check if it is a multipoint or point
                    if isinstance(my_shape, MultiPoint):
                        # break Multipoints into points
                        # i.e. <class 'shapely.geometry.multipoint.MultiPoint'>

                        point_list = my_shape.geoms

                        for the_point in point_list:
                            print type(the_point)
                            my_shape = self.move_point(the_point, compare, dist)

                    elif isinstance(my_shape, Point):
                        # return of move_point is a shapely geom
                        # i.e. <class 'shapely.geometry.point.Point'>
                        my_shape = self.move_point(my_shape, compare, dist)


                    else:
                        raise ValueError('unhandled geometry type: ' + repr(my_shape.type))

                    # write to outfile
                    if my_shape is not None:
                        # how to pick up the new attributes
                        output.write({'geometry':mapping(my_shape), 'properties': item['properties']})
