Harlow's Monkey

I am a social worker who doesn’t believe that social work is just about "saving" people or "helping" people. Social work is about reform and empowerment, not about social control. I am attempting to be an agent of change from within the institutional structures that historically have been used to discriminate against those our society does not value. This blog was born in March of 2006 as a way to put down my thoughts about international and transracial adoption, foster care, race and social work from a point of view that is often missing - the adoptee themselves.
