An Inspirational Show for Desmond to help him through some tough times

Posted Jan 23, 2020
Jeffrey Brown entered foster care at the age of 3. After being placed in 3 different homes, he was adopted by the Brown family at the age of 13. He started doing a one man play titled Th3 Adopt3d On3, to share his story about the complexities and struggles of a young black man in the foster care system through the adoption process. It took Jeffrey many years to break his silence to even reveal that he was adopted. He now understands that he has to use his story to be the vessel for others to heal and share their stories. His hope is to encourage other youth to openly talk about their trials, tribulations, and victories through foster care, and to normalize the conversation surrounding foster care and adoption through foster care. Desmond is having a difficult time coming to terms with his current situation and needs to understand that he is not alone in his feelings and emotions. By granting this wish you are providing Desmond the opportunity to understand his situation and learn new tactics and skills needed to better her life.

Desmond is 16 years old and lives in NJ

Desmond is the oldest of four siblings and he is always caring for them and taking care of them. He is a fun-loving spirit and loves to play sports of all types and experience new things.
