Whitmer Admin to Close Down Black Adoption Agency

JTN:

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) plans to close an adoption agency based in Detroit this week, asserting that its worsening financial situation could adversely affect the quality of care the children it services might receive.

Homes for Black Children (HBC), an organization founded in 1969 to reduce the number of black children in foster care, faces a state-enforced closure this week amid declines in its external funding, according to Michigan News Source. HBC has provided adoption services to more than 2,000 children since its founding.

MDHHS plans to revoke HBC’s license on Friday. MDHHS Public Information Officer Bob Wheaton told the outlet that “significant financial instability at this agency over the last four years threatens its ability to manage the cases of vulnerable children.”

“At times the agency has been unable to pay foster parents promptly, which could affect the financial support they need to provide for the children in their care,” he continued. “Employees have not always received their paychecks on time. Debt is greater than what can be offset, and the agency has shown large deficits every fiscal year since 2017.” more here

  1. Bitch also used her line item veto in the budget to take away funds from crisis pregnancy centers.
    She slashed the adoption tax credit, a maternal pilot program that would follow a woman through pregnancy and follow up postnatal.
    She also slashed grief counseling for those who suffered miscarriage.
    This is not a woman, she is a ghoul from the pits of hell.
