I, too, am so sorry that you and your kids have had to deal with this terrible injustice. Although not with CPS, I have also experienced first hand the corruption of many a govt program.

And I wanted to second what you say about the fact that some children are taken away from their biological families not for actual intended harm, but for poverty or lack of resources. Sadly, it often comes down to money. It's cheaper to take a child away and place him or her into a foster home than it is to make sure the bio family has enough food to eat, can pay their bills, has proper childcare available, etc. And these sort of unjust removals tend to happen disproportionately in minority and/or immigrant families, where often the standard for adequate childcare is different (though not at all necessarily "worse") than what is generally accepted.

Having said that, I also wanted to say that some children do indeed need to be removed from their biological families. Not every parent cares about their children like you do. It's a terrible thing to realize about society, and an awful thing to have to acknowledge with your adopted child. But it's part of who they are, and they have a right to know their full history.

I pray that Jehova will take this hurt from you and heal your wounded heart, so that you may start to try to see that adoption - when done correctly and carefully - is one of the many ways that He blesses needy children.

Because when you speak out against adoption in general, with no caveats, you inadvertantly hurt children who were adopted by making them question their role in their forever families. And you love children, so I know you don't mean to do that.

God bless,
