[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A reporter tracked down these kids’ birth parents. Essentially, the state of Texas kidnapped these kids from extended family and put them up onto “Texas Adoption Resource Exchange” to give away to white families. This is crazy: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/08/books/review/we-were-once-a-family-roxanna-asgarian.html[/quote] Wow. Texas treated these kids like a foreclosed house at a tax sale. “Before a caseworker sent them to foster care, Devonte, Jeremiah and Ciera had been living with their aunt Priscilla. Their mother had a cocaine problem, and was advised by a lawyer to terminate her parental rights to make it easier for Priscilla to adopt the siblings. But termination ensnared the family in a bureaucratic trap. From then on, Asgarian writes, “the children would be free for adoption not just by Priscilla, but by any interested party.” Priscilla was still filing petitions to get the children back in her care when the state placed them on the Texas Adoption Resource Exchange. Not only has it pulled in a disproportionately large share of federal money intended to reward states for finding homes for prospective adoptees; Texas has also had a hand in producing those adoptees, terminating birth parents’ rights “at a rate that far outstripped the rest of the nation.” [/quote]
