That is true but I don't find anything about an arranged sale. Such children are dumped into the toxic foster care system. Are you saying that there are documented cases of corrupt bargains between the cops, family services/family courts and foster care providers in which there is a deliberate search by cops and child welfare workers for likely subjects to be hustled out of their homes and into connected foster care providers ‘homes’. This would be similar to the selling of ‘sturdy indigent lads and lasses’ to indentured servant brokers for resale in the colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Oh, no. I wasn’t saying that. I was equating fees and revenues with sales in some of the known dirtier cases, though. Adoption isn’t free. Sorry about the hyperbole.

We have seen in the news, though, international slavery from various practices of globalism. Not quite what we were discussing but maybe relevant to our future through deindustrialization, imports of cheap labor from other cultures without enough consideration of assimilation to American culture, etc.

Imagine legalized fees, political contributions, federal funding to local governments and the like, supporting a similar system.
