Georgia was sued a decade ago and lost for letting children languish in care, because of racial matching "rules" in certain counties.

This resulted in a hugely disproportionate number of specifically african american children never finding adoptive homes due to a lack of racial matched adoptive resources.

There are now reporting requirements for this specific issue in the egregious counties Fulton and Dekalb.

We had a sibling pair for a year and were on the verge of adopting them. DFCS was more than a year late than was legally required to file TPR and at the last minute moved them to yet another home, this time based on skin color. These kids are pawns of a harmful ideology.
