[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP...   barging in to this thread to say I think this whole thing is a cynical, sick right wing joke on America.

Let's do some math here:

In any given year there are CURRENTLY already over 400,000 American kids who are wards of the state, in foster homes, et cetera.  That number will skyrocket with the overturn of Roe v. Wade, it could easily double.

But in any given year, how many kids are getting adopted?  Only around 50-60,000.  That number won't change with the overturn of Roe v. Wade.  Why would it?  How would it?  Where do all these extra families wanting to adopt magically come from when they already didn't exist to adopt the 350,000 kids already in the system?  Let alone adopt 700,000+ kids considering the increase that will happen with this SCOTUS decision and the slew of trigger laws in half of the states?

Where will all of the extra funding come from to take care of 700,000 kids?

Let's face it, "oh they will be adopted" is a big fat lie given the data only shows 50-60k kids being adopted each year.  Getting adopted is something only around 8% will be able to see happen.  The rest will remain wards of the state, or shuttled around between foster homes.  [/quote]

The kids waiting for adoption are mostly teenagers and their online bios openly state that they need to be the only child or youngest child in the house. Reading between the lines, they have exactly as many issues as you’d think someone whose parents couldn’t care for them for nearly 18 years would have and it’s utterly heart rending.[/quote]
