He always dreamed of becoming a parent - so when he met the love of his life, they got started right away, adopting three adorable, black children as soon as they could - siblings with the same biological parents.

Mark Chambers, Gay athlete, Founder of the National Gay Basketball Association and partner of 34-years to his husband Stephen, was an at-home dad for years, making his kids lunches, coaching their teams, advocating for them with their teachers.

Do you allow your son to become another faceless statistic? Joining the thousands of Black children who are murdered every year on our streets? Or do you write to the local papers and tell them who your son really was, making sure they print the whole story and not just the version that sells papers?
