My adopted kids are my kids and the reason my world is so sweet. I don't love them in a different way...they are my kids.
Some people are unable to love children they didn't give birth to and shouldn't adopt. Some sexual predators like this nutcase WANT to adopt little girls...for reasons other than wanting to give them a good home. It is common for predators to hang out in childcare centers (did the article not say he once owned one?) and adopt usually little girls. My Gawd, to me he is too old to adopt such young children anyway, but the social workers would have a hard time turning down some idiot who was elected. That makes him off limits and he would be approved.
As for rehoming adopted children, it can happen and I saw a YouTube video about just that. There are these "moms" who agree to take in uncontrollable or unwanted children and then usually abuse them. I'm not sure what the reason is...not all of the dumped kids had an adoption subsidy. A child adopted either through a U.S. lawyer privately or internationally will not have an adoption subsidy. That is only for children adopted out of foster care in the U.S. The kids I saw on the YouTube tape had mostly come from different countries so there would be no monetary benefit for them unless the parents paid them off.
I a not sure it is illegal to sign legal custody over to somebody else, but I do believe you are supposed to go to court and it is a process. I heard that there used to be private online forums and chat rooms where parents and these "caregivers" would talk about the exchange of children, but they were cracked down on. I'm sure they still talk to one another somewhere.I'm sure these sadistic exchanges still happen. They are more underground than before now.
I have no idea why, if somebody decides a child is too hard for them or that they changed their mind, that they don't call Social Services and get help and maybe CPS can place the children elsewhere. Maybe they care more about how bad it will look to their family and friends than what is best for the child.
The vetting was never really tough for foster care or adoption. A lot of foster parents sexually and physically and verbally abuse their foster children and the kids are too afraid to tell anyoe. Or they do tell somebody, but are not believed. There is no standard for being a foster parent other than you present yourself as not insane while the probably insane social worker is interviewing you a few times and that you are not currently listed as a child predator. We quit foster care partly because of the horrific stories the foster children would tell us, once they trusted us, about certain foster homes they were in. One boy, who is turning out to be a really good human being (it's a miracle) told me that his foster mother used to put a gun to his head while she had sex with him. He was seven.
This licensed foster mother also beat this boy. He has done really well in his adoptive home, surprising everyone who knows his story. His ex-foster mom had been one of the many, many welfare foster mothers. This is their job,a though many don't take it very seriously. They take in as many kids as they can and collect their board payment. It doesn't count as income so would allow them to continue their welfare and food benefits. But there are wealthier, educated surprising foster parents who are every bit as bad. Like this moron who stars in the story here. The foster care system is just lousy. I'm thinking that even orphanages couldn't be worse, really
But you askaed why and I say the system needs a complete overhaul.
