On February 24 2022 we had the honor of meeting with April Dinwoodie. This person is an activist. She has her own podcast and is an influencer to see that all children but especially brown and black children make it into loving and supportive homes.
In 2021 22.75% of children in foster care were Black/colored. In 2016 57,000 children were adopted out of foster care 49% wight 22%latino 17% African American Wight foster youth are almost 40% more likely to get a job compared to black youth these are all reasons why it is much harder for black children in foster care and why there are a lot more boundaries and things to hold them back
