NO, I am not talking about the classic definition of
child trafficking, I am talking about a network in which Social
Services takes children from homes, deposits them in foster care and
then offers them up for adoption. It is big business. It is legal.
And it is pervasive.
Arizona has the dubious honor of being the worst offender in the
nation. It is estimated that as of 2012, Arizona nets about $1.14
billion per year from this practice. Net. Apparently the federal
government subsidizes foster care children to the tune of $6000-$7000
per month per child. The state then leases the child to a foster home
for about $600 per month and the balance is pure profit. In addition, as
a ward of the state, the child is subject to hospital ‘trials’,
medications, surgeries, drugs, that are not yet approved. These
children, as wards of the state, are guinea pigs without a voice. After
the hospital is done, the child is put up for adoption. And given that
the birth rate in the US has been dropping precipitously each year for
the last five plus, there is a shortage of adoptees. Supply and demand –
and the value of the child/ward goes up to $25,000 plus, and that too
is all gravy for the state.
Children are thus a commodity traded and sold.
