This nonprofit provides adoptive parents with 'hair care education.'
Adoptive parents face unique joys and challenges, but for those who become parents to a child of a different race, there's even one more that they may not have anticipated.Jerry and Sarah Jorgenson are adoptive parents to three children. Their middle child is 5-year-old Alia.
Enter Styles for Kidz, a non-profit organization that"provides high-quality, compassionate hair care education and services for African-American kids in foster care and transracial adoptive families," according to its web site. It was founded by Tamekia Swint, who Sarah Jorgenson credits with opening her eyes beyond her daughter's safety and physical needs.
Swint got the idea for Styles for Kidz when she was teaching a braiding class on a mission trip to Poland. These days it's Jerry who does the majority of the hour-long trips to Chicago with Alia to learn more about how to style her hair.
