If adopting was such a good thing, why do agencies make it so hard for couples REALLY WANTING children to adopt, so hard in fact, that many go overseas to adopt. I'm talking about Good, everyday folks everyone, not the Hollywood, rich elite types.
Because their motives don't line up with giving children good homes. Just like CPS...all adoption agencies are more about child trafficking than the well-being of children. We know of so many people that were adopted into loving homes in the past...but the only way to do that type of adoption now is to use alternative adoption agencies that still care about children...because for the evil ones, children come cheaply...a dime a dozen.
I believe there are way more good people than bad. The vast majority in fact. The bad people however seem to have a propensity to strive for powerful positions in society.
Thanks for posting
I'm getting close to retirement but one Is as young as one feels, lol. Best days of my life were raising my 4 sons. I think about fistering kids. The negative stories keep me from doing it as I don't need another fight in my life. (I'm still recovering from husband's and son's death 4 years ago...thought we would enjoy twilight years together...so journey now is trying to see blessings and cherish unexpected moments.)
From what I've seen, foster/adoption is needed in every state. There are at least 4 different foster agencies in my town in addition to Child Services. In my state, you can foster full-time or part-time (known as respite care). That gives the full-timers a little break. I'd be happy to answer any questions if needed.

I know. That is so sad. I'm glad for this place as it reminds me there are a least as many good people as bad. Thank you.

Adoptive parent here. It's not hard. Nor is it expensive. Become a foster parent.

What's the best way to get started then? Don't have the patience to 'fight' my way in and its not the failult if entry level gate keeper folks.
