From the article: Caring for Your African American or Biracial Child's Hair
As foster or adoptive parents we are asked to meet the needs of children, and many times we are asked to step outside of our own parenting comfort zones to meet those needs. And many, many times we are asked to step outside our cultural comfort zones.
Black hair care is outside the comfort zone for many foster and adoptive parents, but together we can learn to properly care for the needs of African American children in the foster care system.
Especially take the time to share those things you wish you knew back when you were brand new to black hair care.

- It caught my attention when I read this because its kind of like a reverse situation. My parents adopted Caucasian kids and they had to take out the time to learn doing their hair. In the end with everyone's help we were able to manage. I'm coming out with a site in the future. If you would like to be a guest it would be an honor! Jeff
