Synopsis
This book explores the experiences of the first African American adoption agency in North Carolina. The author was a staff member who helped grow black adoptive families from zero to 100 within the first seven years of the agency's existence. This book describes the agency's journey of breaking down the barriers that made it hard for black children to find stable, loving homes. The author reveals the strategies the agency used to recruit black adoptive families at a time when most adoption agencies did little or no outreach to black families. The book discusses the importance of representation and community involvement in improving outcomes for children in the foster care system. In the process, readers will also gain insights into how systemic racism operates in the adoption system and how the author and agency staff successfully confronted those barriers.
