To be honest, adopting a child is something I have been giving some thought to lately.
Being stuck in the foster care system can be hell on kids. Especially young black boys.
The thought of saving one of them from that hell is one way I feel I can make a difference.
I used to be a social worker and what's even crazier is there's a massive shortage of foster homes. So kids ultimately end up being streamlined through DIFFERENT foster homes on a daily or nightly basis and often spending days in the office with the social worker when no daycare is available. Imagine the toll that takes on kids? Going to a different home every night and spending days with a bunch of adults you don't know. So damn sad. System is completely broken.
I'd be working on my computer with a 4 month old baby on my lap 50% of the time.
