not done the work on systemic racism or even how to be culturally supportive. Even with something as basic as hair care.

However, as a parent via foster-adopt, the fact that trauma was never mentioned (and being removed from one’s home even to “good” foster care is traumatic. I didn’t need a Handyman team for special needs, I needed it (and still need it) for broken windows, holes in walls, cracked doorframes, etc. Without judgement of me or my kiddos. I happen to be a pastor, and my observation is that the majority of active Christians who are fostering have not done the work needed around race.
