That's because a lot of adoption agencies are ran by strict conservative Christians. That religion is obsessed with controlling who has children.

And none of them adopt children themselves.

solid comment. I'm glad you're ok now :) (at least relatively lol, I know life still sucks sometimes)

Yes, I hope you are in a much better place. I’m sorry you had to go through that

Well considering when it comes to children who ain't infants, i would assume it's less rare for non-white children to end up in horrible homes of private citizens, since the group is the hardest to find someone willing to take them in. It's hard enough as it is to find someone for a white child above a certain age(5+), so i would assume these agencies won't ask twice when someone is willing to adopt one of the non-whites, however this case by itself clearly shows that they should ask as many times as they are able. It's just wrong, but at the same time that's the reality of the situation... infants, high demand, older children not so much, this causes a lot of issues since being stuck at some foster care facility or being constantly transferred between different options ain't optimal either. What's even worse is that the so called parents can fairly easy dismiss worries by blaming unusual behavior on past trauma, which makes much of the child abuse go under the radar. It's nuts how efficient it is, been working for CPS and when you sit with hundreds of reports, call-ins and open cases it become extremely hard to keep up with the quality of work and it's not as if there's additional resources to call upon when it become to much to handle. So you end up dealing with the more seemingly urgent and more detailed reports first and work your way down to the cases with little to go on... cases which could even be worse, since most of the time these things never even reach the eyes of the public until the child is old/brave enough to reach out by their own volition.

That bar gets raised every day, and they still find a way

❤ your cries have not fallen on deaf ears. Please don't stop speaking out! We hear you ❤

I was a young runaway, and I learned real quick that foster kids and adopted kids all had the most brutal histories. All of us came from abuse, but the adopted kids would be telling stories of horrific abuse, csa, and slavery, and lived in constant fear of being forced back into the system before they turned 18. It was eye opening, cuz I came from extremely rough childhood abuse, but their stories always dwarfed mine

I do distinctly remember some black streetkids telling me about essentially being enslaved by white adopted family, and escaping that to live on the streets when they were like 12 or 13

Trans-racial? Please tell me you just mean you are trans and a person of color, not someone hijacking another race.... Trans and gender diverse experiences don’t equate with someone deciding to change their appearance to be part of a group whose experiences, community and struggles they can’t fully understand. Unlike gender, race presents as categorised (often physical) traits that are socially constructed and understood. You can’t inherit your gender, this is internal and something individual to you - but you do inherit the social construct of race. There is also much more to one’s racial identity than physical appearance - it’s also about culture, community, connection and even trauma.

If white couples didn't adopt black kids, you would call that racism, they do adopt black kids, you also call that racism. That's why nobody takes you seriously.

This is why black people said that they were uncomfortable with black children being adopted by white people. These concerns were called racists by institutions. Yet we have hundreds of black and mixed black children stating they were mistreated specifically by white adopted parents. But no one wants to talk about that because it’s 2024 and racism doesn’t exists anymore and this is just a one off smh

@@DaxBruce-kv4vf you are literally running through these comments complaining to everyone that they are commenting. how can you say anything about "being morally superior"?

​@@lolalalia4119To quote a wise podcaster, TEXAS HATES KIDS!

​@@lolalalia4119- Abbott respond to that? I'd be shocked.

@@lynneanderson4255 well he kinda did. He responded to the CPS reports by enacting forced pregnancies. I have a theory: foster and adoptive parents recieve financial compensation especially for taking in older children. These children are frequently shuffled from house to house. The state receives federal funding for children in CPS. Children in CPS "care" are more likely to be se* traffed, become addicts, and wind up in prison. And whoooooo has a bunch of private prisons with quotas that need to met while leasing out the prisoners to private companies?? And whooooo are the people financially invested in the megacorporations using private prisoners as modern day slaves under the 13th amendment?? Add to that the billion dollar industry equipping our open air prison with surveillance devices like ankle monitors. Follow the money behind any human rights issue and you'll find the wealthy's sticky fingers all over it. BTW don't buy egglands best eggs - they use prison labor

Ohh I'm sure they got "better" news like Biden's stutter or sth juicy they will convene a panel of 9 experts on

@@GirmaKassa-ip7ht yes. i think ive seen a years worth about biden's stutter. absolutely riveting news.

Sounds about...you know

How is that possible?

@@bretfisher7286because they aren’t adoption agencies, their last chance housing. That’s the problem with our system.

I mean... _should_ they? Because [part of] the reason a lot of people need to go to shelters is because apartments do background checks and they can't find a place that will take them. That was a real question, I'm not trying to phrase my point as a question like some wienerbrain.

That is not what they mean by shelters. They mean emergency shelters in the foster care system where kids go before placement. They most certainly do background checks on foster parents in all states, and they are required to go through a home study to make sure their homes are adequate for children. Usually, the children may be placed in a fost-adopt home, where they foster them first and then adopt them. The system has a lot of problems and once placed in a home, social workers don’t always visit there home as often as they should.

@@idontwantahandlethough not that kind of shelter its more a place where they have children who where taken from guardians either reasonably or unreasonably

Oh no these parents are the type that claim black people were better off as slaves. Learned all sorts of useful skills as slaves. The don't see color idiots like to gaslight black people and pretend systematic racism doesn't exist.

Yes it starts with racism of why more racialised kids are in care too

I don't see how this case justifies being racist to white people as a whole?

​@@XXTheSadisticlemurXXThat really went over your head.

@@jamescampbell4751 no, it didn't. She made a generalization akin to what I hear from conservatives complaining about minorities not condemning petty theft. I called it out, and instead of engaging with the point, you're trying to handwave the point away.

yeah. at least blk ppl have an excuse. yt ppl dont.

@@XXTheSadisticlemurXX idk how "this" started but I'll clarify. I said yt ppl, not as a generalization, but because they are the only group that claims "reverse racism". Realistically discrimination on the basis of race would be considered racism regardless of what race the recipient is. But because it tends to be yt ppl responding to POC's being either anti racist or as I said "distrustful, or rude" (a valid response), they instead call it reverse racism. As if it's morally an equal and opposite response to racism.

"Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse." 1 Peter 2:18

😪

I don't know about the US, but I've repeatedly heard that in Swirzerland, you can't adopt if you've had a difficult childhood. Which seems so weird to me since you may very well have worked through any issues you had and because they peopke I know who grew up sheltered are often just very cold-hearted. And I think they are that way because they can much less well empathise with people who've suffered because they've never gone through something themselves.

Yes! It is especially prevalent in the online foster groups' blog forums. Did you see the foster/adoption pageants that have been going on for yearsssss? They literally hold a beauty pageant and have children walk down the catwalk for prospective "parents" to choose which child they like. It is disgusting.

I totally agree with you as a teacher in another country, I find it alarming that children are allowed to be homeschooled so easily, especially for religious reasons. These are often high demand religions and they are also often cults. Young people are vulnerable and they should not just be allowed to dissappear. I just don't know how in this day and age we can't track these people from state to state.

Please don't blame any of this on homeschooling. Public Education is broken and their are plenty of great parents that homeschool their children and do not abuse them. Going to a public school doesn't guarantee an adult is going to notice anything. There are plenty of kids in public school who are being abused and no one knows.

​@@missp498- Oh, it can be done, but the lax U.S. wouldn't do it.

​@@TheMPExperience- Widespread home schooling is a problem in more ways than one.

That is not 100% true. Really only private adoption agencies require all that and it depends on the agency. I gave my daughter up for adoption at 20 and the agency didn't do background checks or home checks. You can adopt newborns easier if you go through the state. Newborns are ripped away from mothers by CPS all the time. (for suspicion of drugs, alcohol abuse or abusive households, or sometimes literally just because a wealthy white women decided she wanted that child. This happened to my brother.)

What???? XD What even goes on in y'alls imaginations? lmfao!

He probably would.

Unfortunately even when kids are in the foster care system, many times there is a lot of monitoring either.

I mean it is pretty easy. I don't think these things compare at all.

They politicized this story so much, I hate how polarized we are as a country because this is such an important topic and they could've really went into the failures of the foster care system/ adoption system & the disproportionately way it effects rural, poor and marginalized people. The struggles a homeless mother might be having...ect. And talked about advocating for policy changes instead they used it as a vehicle to push their own political narrative.
