Shireen Jackson was a Black single mother of one living in Louisiana. She made a great living as she was the owner of a successful catering company that had really grown in popularity over the past several years.
Even though she was fulfilled in her career, Shireen was pushing 40 and had always wanted to give her son Jamal a sibling. Shireen wasn’t married and she had zero romantic prospects, so she decided to take matters into her own hands.
But after months of unsuccessful fertility treatments, Shireen decided to give her body a much-needed break. It was at that point when a friend asked her if she would consider adoption.
Adoption wasn’t something she had thought about before, but the more she thought about it, the more it made sense. She began the adoption process by filling out lengthy paperwork and going on several interviews, and even though it was emotionally draining, she was determined to find the right child for her family.
After several tours of many orphanages and foster homes, Shireen finally came face-to-face with a golden-haired little girl named Tammy. The pair formed an instant connection and it was at that moment that Shireen knew she had found her daughter.
