In 2010 there were more than 500,000 children in foster care across the United States, more than a quarter of them African American children. The need for adoption has never been greater, but we still see our children lagging behind in adoption rates. A new article from the Atlanta Post sheds light on four adoption myths:
1) Children of African descent are more difficult to raise.
2) So-called “drug babies” will become super predators.
3) Transracial adoptions do more harm than good.
4) Single parents need not apply.
