How do you know there are plenty of families available to adopt them? And how do you know those families have the resources to take care of them.

There are over 440,000 children in the U.S. foster care system. They all deserve families of their own and Hoda has reached out to take care of two from birth.

Celebrate it.[/quote]
That amount includes sibling groups and kids of all ages
The goal of foster care is family reunification. They do not all languish in foster care.
Some are semi permanently with grandparent or relative[/quote]

And? A child is a child - every child in the system deserves a loving family. And quite frankly - being adopted fully by a loving family is FAR preferable to being with grandparents or relatives part-time. It obviously wouldn't be semi-permanent if those family members have the ability, facilities, or financial means to take those children full time. [/quote]

Actually kids do far better with relatives, especially grandparents, if placed/adopted at an older age.  Lots of studies on it.[/quote]
