This author knows how to dig into a sensitive subject, shake loose our stubborn bias and educate us with the truth of what it is really like for a single Black woman to adopt a Black baby. We think we know the system, we think that it is corrupt and there is a shortage of healthy babies waiting for adoption. We think all the babies who are out there are damaged or drug-ridden. Ms. Austin gives us the real skinny on how the foster care and adoption system needs to change and she has proven that love, a strong support system in the community and positive guidance can produce a healthy well-adjusted child who will grow up to be a well-adjusted adult. Hats off to her for sharing her story and those of other adoptive parents and providing a shining example of what it means to be a mom.
