āYou can get away with buying babies around the world as a United States citizen. Itās not a crime.ā

The linked source article provides decent insight as to why adoption/foster ācareā in the US is particularly a imperialist shitshow, ripping apart birth families & communities on massive global scales.
Side note: Iām stuck on the implications of āitās not a crimeā as the obvious extension of āyou can get away with itā.
This is why, if youāre going to be a foster/adoptive parent, you do the research. You do the advocacy. You get involved, even when the caseworkers and court tell you itās not your business. Because there are kids out there who are removed from their families because of racism and corruption, and there are kids who are removed from their families to save their lives.
If youāre going to be a part of this imperialist shitshow, you need to know the difference.
