It's not a perfect system by any means...but I don't agree that it's a business for cw's simply to get money.
The system fails us in many ways and a way to help kids who truly need families be adopted is to unfortunately provide an incentive for Cw's and the states to work hard to do just that. We have over 100,000 kids in foster care and while I don't have the actual statistics of how many are legally free for adoption, it's A LOT. For these kids, languishing in the system who need homes...it's in theory a way to accomplish that.
As we've seen by the OP's experience and others, we know that the system isn't perfect and just like any other job, there are people working in this field that shouldn't be. But overall...I think most of the time, the states really do have the best interest of the child in mind and try to do their jobs to the best of their ability.
