    If laws would be loosened for these children. Many would get adopted. Not all , but many have emotional problems. If they are adopted, the state funds stop, and so does mental , physical help. If the government would continue those programs after adoption. More would be adopted. People who are foster parents need a national background check. And every home should have an alarm button. So the child could push it if being abused. Same with babies. There are a million abortions a year. And 2 million people waiting to adopt. Trump/Vance/Cruz2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    I seriously hope she wins and the state and CPS is sued Big Time. There are so many stories on how the state removed kids from their homes only to be put into worse situations. This has to stop. We, the people, have to do better by our children and fix this broken system.
