Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Felita Cornog. An adoption attorney and foster care advocate. Felita Cornog shares her personal journey from a traumatic childhood—losing her mother to domestic violence and her father to incarceration—to becoming a passionate advocate for children in foster care. She discusses the differences between adoption and foster care, the emotional toll of her work, and how others can support children in the system even if they don’t become foster parents themselves. 🧭 Interview Outline 1. Introduction Felita shares that her passion for law began in her teens but she pursued it in her 30s after becoming a mother and homemaker. 2. Personal Backstory Felicia’s mother died from domestic violence; her father went to prison. She and her brother were raised by extended family, avoiding the foster system. This inspired her to help children who aren’t as fortunate. Quote: “I wanted to turn that story of pain into my passion.” 3. Understanding Foster Care vs. Adoption Foster Care: Temporary placement with the goal of reunification. Adoption: Permanent legal relationship. Children may be placed in foster homes or group homes. Quote: “The goal of foster care is always reunification first.” 4. Stereotypes and Realities Many children in foster care are not abused but neglected or orphaned. Misconceptions about emotional instability are common. Quote: “That’s one of the biggest myths—that all children in foster care have emotional problems.” 5. Emotional Impact of the Work Finalizing adoptions is joyful but bittersweet, especially when siblings are separated. Felita handles all types of adoptions except international. Quote: “Adoptions are one of the few times people leave a law office happy.” 6. Support for Foster Parents Foster parents receive stipends and Medicaid support.
