We had one whose mother used crack. She abandoned him in a crack hose when it was raided. She was blue eyed blond American and his father was an illegal from Nicaragua. That baby lived with us for 2 years, from the time he was 6 weeks old until he was 2 years old, and yes the judge gave him back to his mother at the urging of The Association of Black and Hispanic Social Workers. He belonged in his own culture they said and opposed our wish to adopt him. The condemned him to a life of further abandonment and disruption, not what was best for him, but what best served their agenda.
I’m not sure where you’re at, but I saw a similar thing play out in Louisiana a few years ago.
A loving, well-balanced couple looking to adopt. Two little girls about 3 and 5 found their mom dead from an overdose and were put into the system. After a year of checks by the state, the girls were about to be adopted by my friends.
At the last minute, some relative found out they could get state money to adopt the girls and found a friendly ‘family’ judge. The girls were tossed back into the squalor of trailer living, meth, heroine, and probably sexual abuse.
They’re still being prayed for, but no one knows where they’re at now.
Disgusting what happens to children in the name of political correctness. We’re damned if we don’t look out for the little ones.
How did the judge consider his mother to be ethnic since she was blond and blue eyed? Never mind. I know the answer. The system does not protect the children, it protects the abusive parents.
So sorry that you ( and especially the little boy) had to experience it.
