[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, do you all remember Amy Coney Barrett’s note about the “domestic supply of infants” in her rationale of why Roe should be overturned??  Well, looks like there is more effort underfoot to increase this “domestic supply” as international adoptions are more restricted and fewer single moms in America put their kids up for adoption.

This is an ongoing ploy for foster parents to steal kids from biological parents who follow the full plan to get their kids back. Potential parents are going into the foster system deliberately to try to work the system to keep their foster infants. This is horrific.

That’s a sad story with a happy ending but… that’s not what has been happening to most kids in foster care. I’m good friends with a pair of social workers and what they say is the main problem with foster care is nothing like that comparatively dreamy story. Family reunification is the goal in most foster care systems. That means that children are put in foster care as abuse/neglect/drug use dictates, taken out when the parents are able to get themselves organized for a while, then back into another foster care family, back and forth, back and forth, no security, no deep attachments, no safety.

Children should not be taken from their parents willy nilly, but neither should they be repeatedly traumatized if there is a stable family for them. Guardian ad litem is a thing and should be expanded. There is no need to keep breaking the minds of children with the nebulous goal of “family reunification” if that family is what keeps harming them. [/quote]
