[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's awful. Imagine if we shipped out kids in foster care to be adopted in another country because it would cost less than keeping them in foster care? And their parents just ... lost touch. Man, just when I'm thinking our US gov't is awful, South Korea says hold my beer.[/quote]

The point of adoption vs. foster care is to give permanent homes.  [/quote]
Foster care is temporary and family reunion is the goal.
Adoption is meant to provide a family when there isn’t one, [b]not to take away a family [/b][/quote]

Except in the US. Here, you can pay for a baby if you have the right connections to the "supply" and have enough money for a private adoption. I know someone who adopted a child and the two teen parents were rewarded financially - but it was done skillfully by the shady lawyer. In that case, the child's family WAS taken away - because the prospect of money was dangled in front of two teenagers eyes. [/quote]

Certain states like CA and FL are well know for that.  And, there are lots of shady adoptions.  It’s frustrating as even of the courts know they often allow it.  [/quote]
