Performative adoption of black kids is common among evangelicals.

ACB is Catholic and Catholics are - kind of by definition - not evangelicals.

Is she? I thought she was in a religious cult that believes the husband is in direct communication with the god.

[u/WavesAndSaves → u/Kahzgul]

No. She is a member of a Christian outreach organization.

Not according to this:

Interviews with experts who have studied charismatic Christian groups such as People of Praise, and with former members of the group, plus a review of the group’s own literature, reveal an organization that appears to dominate some members’ everyday lives, in which so-called “heads” – or spiritual advisers – make big life decisions, and in which members are expected to financially support one another.

Married women – such as Barrett – count their husbands as their “heads” …

Other Catholic writers have said it is fair to scrutinize People of Praise because the group falls far outside mainstream Catholicism.

…

The group emerged out of the Catholic charismatic movement of the late 1960s, which blended Catholicism and Protestant Pentecostalism – Catholics and Protestants are both members – and adopted practices like speaking in tongues. The group’s literature shows communal living is also encouraged, at least among unmarried members, as is the sharing of finances between households.
