12.11.2025 15:54 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Text on a light blue background reads: βNational Adoption Awareness Month. Every time the state says itβs βsaving children,β someone is getting paid. Billions of federal dollars flow through family policing each year, not to keep families together, but to remove and rehome children. This isnβt about protection. Itβs about profit, power, and punishment disguised as care.β
Text reads: β01. The Adoption and Safe Families Act (1997) rewards states up to $10,000 per finalized adoption, on top of millions in annual federal reimbursements for foster care. Meanwhile, family reunification programs receive only a fraction of that funding. Itβs not that the money doesnβt exist β itβs that itβs intentionally redirected away from keeping families whole. The system profits more when families are separated.β
Text reads: β02. Private agencies, lawyers, and nonprofits profit from every step of the adoption pipeline. But the cost is paid by parents criminalized for poverty, by families fighting to be reunified, and by adoptees who inherit the grief of state violence. For every check written in the name of βchild welfare,β a bond is broken, often permanently.β
Text reads: β03. Imagine if those same dollars funded food programs, housing, childcare, and cash assistance instead of removals. Thatβs what abolition looks like β shifting money from surveillance to survival. Ending the family policing system isnβt about scarcity. Itβs about choosing care over control.β
Every time the state says itβs βsaving children,β someone is getting paid.
Billions in federal dollars flow through the family policing system each year, not to keep families together, but to remove and rehome children.
This isnβt protection. Itβs profit.

10.11.2025 19:15 β π 12 π 3 π¬ 1 π 0One horrific reason #Adoption continues to exist in the USA separating millions of families already is because we fail to support moms/kids (policy failures by both parties) and we incentivize family separation with tax giveaways like this proposal. It's ghastly. www.pasenategop.com/news/pennycu...
