The piece that I decided to review was dear birth mother I really found this piece interesting because o never really realized how difficult it was to get people to adopt African American children I always thought that people saw the babies the same way children are all the same to me but it is clear that not everyone sees it that way. I did like the fact that in the parent classes they had beads to try and bring an understanding to the fact that the neighborhoods that these people live in are not necessarily ones that the African American children would be completely comfortable in but in all I think that this piece was really well put together and informative I enjoyed it a lot.
