Art critic George Dibble once described Brooks as an artist who: "...sought an impeccable reputation for firm traditional expression in sculpture, an aim he realized in public and private commissions.... His treatment of the figure was distinguished by dignity and an agile interpretation of the character of his sitters. sit-ters. ...His self-portrait reveals the sensitivity and warmth of an artist much admired by his associates asso-ciates and friends. Brooks' modesty mod-esty and self-effacing manner enhanced the talents of an esteemed es-teemed artist."

Located in Spanish Fork, Parry and Burningham's TLC Adoption Agency specializes in placing African-American children. chil-dren. "We are happy to place any race of children in adoptive homes, but it just happens the need for homes for African-American babies is more prevalent," said Parry. Nationally, there are 20 prospective homes for one Caucasian baby; the statistics drastically decline for African-American African-American babies. Since TLC's licensure in November 1999, they have placed over 35 newborns in homes in Utah. Both Burningham and Parry know the difficulties and joys in adopting and raising African-American African-American children. Parry and her husband, Travis, are the parents of four children under the age of three; two of their youngsters are adopted and are black. For the Burninghams, four of their eight children are adopted African-American African-American children. "I'm sure it seems out of the ordinary for two-average, two-average, white women in Utah to run an adoption agency that caters to African-American women wom-en and newborns," said Parry. "The evolution of TLC was only natural with our circumstances and deep love for children." Burningham and Parry met while volunteering for Families for African American Awareness, a support group for Caucasian families who have adopted black children. "We were spending a lot of time assisting families, attorneys and other adoption agencies. Our main task was to educate adoptive families. The families need to know they don't need to change their black children chil-dren in a white culture. We teach adoptive families about skin care and hair care differences and products. We teach families about African-American holidays and culture."

TLC Adoption Agency uses Mountain View Hospital in Pay-son Pay-son exclusively for the birth of their babies. "The birth moms are treated with such love and care at Mountain View. All of the birth mothers rave about their care." recounts Parry. It is not unusual for MVH unit secretary, Janice Lazenby, to give flowers to these special birth moms. "From the administrative staff who secure notary personnel at all hours to the tremendous nursing staff who treat our girls with respect and love, we couldn't be more happy with the hospital experience," said Parry. Both Burningham and Parry are present at all cf the births. "We wouldn't miss a birthday party," exclaims Parry. Parry explains it is easy to open your heart to these birth mothers.

Most are pleasantly surprised and encouraged for the future of their baby. Likewise, Parry notes Utahns can be caught in stereotyping both the African-American birth mother and her baby.
