#12 Jackée Harry
Just when single mothers started appearing on shows in the ’90s, adoptive mothers too did. One such show was Sister, Sister that went on air from 1994 to 1999, and had Jackée Harry playing an adoptive mother to Tia Landry, one of the kids from the show. She received praises for her work and continues to do films and TV shows, proving the staying power she is having.
