Peer Parent Liaisons

Provide peer support to adoptive, foster, and kinship families to empower parents to advocate for themselves and make referrals and identify appropriate resources within the community such as physicians, mental health professionals and therapists that understand the needs of adopted children.

One Love Many Colors – Transracial Adoption

The intent of this initiative is to educate, promote, and support. Through education and open forums that foster an environment that is non-judgmental discussions will open the door to address issues, concerns and prejudices regarding transracial adoption. Potential families will be able to give voice to their thoughts and fears without concern of reproach.  If potential parents are able to discuss concerns and issues without fear, know that they are not alone and there is support from other transracial adoptive families - more families will be open to the possibility of adopting transracially. Education and support are the tools that will facilitate the change we seek - the adoption of more black children from foster care.  Children don’t care about the color of your skin or whether you are perfect parent, they just want to be loved.
