Boy from Mali in care of Cheryl Carter-Shotts
Submitted by silent1 on Fri, 2013-09-06 17:24.
Cheryl Carter-Shotts and Charlie Shotts fostered a boy from Mali who was disrupted after 4 years. He came to the US on humanitarian parole. (Shotts eventually adopted daughter, came to the USA on a "student visa")
This boy was named Mohammed (their 2nd son with the same name). He was with the Shotts for 4 years, placed in a group home, and later adopted by another woman.

Incorrect Information
This is Cheryl Carter-Shotts. My husband and I did not adopt the boy named Mohammed - the 2nd Malian child with that 1st name. He came to the US on a humanitarian parole visa in 1987, my husband and I were his foster parents - he got into trouble with the law as a young teenager, spent 2 years in a group home and was then adopted by a single mother. This young man is now in his late 20's.
thanks
