We Were Once a Family

This book should be mandatory reading for anyone involved in child protection - lawyers, judges and social workers. I was floored by what was allowed in this situation. We have a flawed system of child protection in this country that is tightly tied to the systemic racism that exists in our nation.

My heart breaks for the children and their birth families. We need to have a system that learns how to support families. I don't know if that is possible but we, as a nation, need to do a better job of trying to make it happen.
