This 2021 photo provided by Bridgette Griffin shows her and her daughter, Aubrey Faith Griffin, on Aubrey's third birthday at their home in Atlanta. Griffin, adopted Aubrey from foster care and been a foster parent to many other children, including teenage girls and babies. Though she thrives on being a foster mom, she sees traces of racism ingrained in the child-welfare system. "You see the difference in the courts - two kids coming in for the same type of neglect,” she said, “The judge looks at them differently, the social workers deal with them differently. There’s more sympathy for the white parents, unfortunately. ... It’s not fair.” (Bridgette Griffin via AP)
