Unlike policing, university hires, or medical training, what happens in family courts is usually a quiet affair, far removed from the public eye. That makes foster care children the perfect <em>tabula rasa<\/em> for the left\u2019s experiment in social engineering where skin color is the dominant and deciding factor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1327246041\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cb7760df644e480389d97e3e2846cb3f fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cb7760df644e480389d97e3e2846cb3f\"><\/div>\n<p>Racist woke ideology in family courts is a huge red flag. For over 30 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/ocr\/civilrights\/resources\/specialtopics\/adoption\/mepatraingppt.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Multi-Ethnic Placement Act (MEPA)<\/a> has made it illegal to place vulnerable children in homes on the basis of race, but those laws are now often flouted by activist judges and social workers, causing children to get caught in the revolving door of foster care as courts search for a match by tribe or skin color. As a result, a little girl or boy\u2019s hopes for adoption into a lasting family fade away, one broken attachment after another.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Anti-Racism\u2019 Penalizes the Kids It Claims To Help<\/h2>\n<p>The story often plays out like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/government-uprooting-children-loving-homes-because-woke-views-race-opinion-1788341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this one<\/a> in North Carolina. True was born to a mother with a history of maltreatment. Since she was unable to care for her son, True was placed with a veteran foster family. For two and a half years, he was immersed in a web of love and care, not unlike the one Mutabazi provided for three white children in his home.\u00a0True learned to walk and talk in a family that treated him as they would a son.<\/p>\n<p>After years of failed reunification efforts, the Department of Child Services asked True\u2019s caregivers if they would adopt him. They readily agreed. But True was a black boy. The court postponed hearing after hearing, stalling for time. His biological mother did not see him for 13 months, well past the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/EnactedLegislation\/Statutes\/PDF\/BySection\/Chapter_14\/GS_14-322.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">state requirements<\/a> for child abandonment. Yet the courts continued to push for visits with her, even though she had not followed the case plan. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, when adoption by the white family who had cared for True seemed like the only possible option, True was removed overnight and placed with a single woman he had never met. But the skin color matched. True remains a ward of the North Carolina foster care system, a bewildered 4-year-old boy who must now wonder why he never gets to unpack his suitcase for the last time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-45ac61d961e4160d10b18187f405a613 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-45ac61d961e4160d10b18187f405a613\"><\/div>\n<p>Much like the move to defund the police, critical theorists have used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Torn-Apart-Destroys-Families-Abolition-ebook\/dp\/B09BN2TNQF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">charges <\/a>of systemic racism to tear down child welfare efforts.

Are black children likely to be investigated and removed from their homes more often than white kids? <em>Racism must be the cause<\/em>. Any <a href=\"https:\/\/politicalresearch.org\/2019\/11\/26\/best-interests-how-child-welfare-serves-tool-white-supremacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disparity in outcomes<\/a> is, ergo, the result of \u201cracial bias.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanrenewalbook.com\/putting-the-kids-first-a-child-welfare-system-that-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">facts <\/a>tell a far more complex story.

Meanwhile, real children suffer from the effects of anti-racism.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Putting the Child\u2019s Needs First<\/h2>\n<p>Efforts to counter this trend have been quietly gathering steam around the country. Leading the way is Arizona\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecenterforchildren.org\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for the Rights of Abused Children<\/a>. Their advocacy has helped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecenterforchildren.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2023_Center_for_Children_Map_Statutes_final-003-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 states<\/a> establish laws that require a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecenterforchildren.org\/webinar-client-directed-counsel-for-children-in-foster-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cclient-centered advocate\u201d<\/a> in court on behalf of the child\u2019s best interests. Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fosteringimpact.com\/services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">states <\/a>are also moving to grant caregivers a larger voice in advocating for a foster child in their home.<\/p>\n<p>Churches and faith communities are putting their shoulders to the wheel. Caring for orphans is central to Christian teaching. To talk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acf.hhs.gov\/media\/press\/2021\/national-data-shows-number-children-foster-care-decreases-third-consecutive-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">400,000 children<\/a> needing care (enough to fill the Atlanta Braves stadium eight times) is overwhelming. But providing homes for 400 vulnerable children in one metroplex such as <a href=\"http:\/\/rdu4fams.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raleigh<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/riversideproject.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Houston<\/a> is far more achievable. <a href=\"https:\/\/promise686.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nonprofits and churches<\/a> are collaborating to support fragile parents so fewer children enter an overburdened system and to encourage families to foster children until they can return home, if possible, or be adopted.<\/p>\n<p>Caring for vulnerable children in the wake of an opioid epidemic is challenging enough. The task is made even harder when anti-white racism corrupts family courts. Every child deserves to grow up in a family he can count on. Sacrificing a child\u2019s need for safety and a stable family to match skin color or tribe means more children will suffer. Peter Mutabazi had it right: Love does indeed transcend racial differences.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e3bf2b57361223b7e88a75c5d8a537ba fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e3bf2b57361223b7e88a75c5d8a537ba\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, Ugandan-born Peter Mutabazi gained national attention for adopting three white children in Charlotte, North Carolina, providing them a home.
