    “Don’t abort, put the baby up for adoption! Lots of people want to adopt!”

    “Hello, we’d like to adopt a baby.”

    “Not you people!”

      Also not the “bad” babies. Or any children over the age of 1. Those can go to the workhouse.

      Now I have to go take a shower after typing that. I swear the redhats want victorian times again.

          The current government in Argentina has legislators publicly advocating for both and the incumbent president campaigned on that also.

          Fun times.

        Or any children over the age of 1.

        Or premees. Or babies with any conceivable medical condition. Or any baby less white than a glass of milk.

            Jokes are supposed to make you laugh at absurdity, not cry at it.

            That’s not criticism of your comment, but of the truth of it.

              I don’t know, George Carlin wanted to make me laugh and cry at the same time based on some of the things he said.

              I mean this is funny but also true and very sad:

              Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.

                George was funny as hell, all he had to do was speak the truth the way he did it.

          I’m sure Jewish is othering enough. But yes when they finish consuming the adenochrome, they will immediately start the child on puberty blockers and queer propaganda.

    I’d bet that the outcome of all this will be that Tennessee just stops providing funding to any adoption services.

    Because if they’re not allowed to hurt only the people they want to hurt, they’ll hurt everyone to reach that goal.

      Nah, they will just continue the discrimination and ignore the court rulings they don’t like, then appeal indefinitely.

    In the 70s and 80s, having a neopagan faith was grounds enough to have your kids yanked from you and put into the foster system. Similarly if you have BDSM tackle and / or dress, even if it never came out when the kids were about.

    They dont just want to take us back to the days when everyone had to hide in their closet, but they’re deternined to pack everyone into closets, including their own that have kinks, disabilities, family with shameful pasts or whatever.

    Project 2025 is not a rational model for society, which is why it will need fascist features including enemy-within rhetoric and eventually a war effort.

    So it’s super important we don’t have another Black Swan election like 2016. Also I hope DHS is actually prepared for violent coup d’etat and civil war, should the GOP lose the election and procedural coup d’etat shenanigans fail.

    Don’t send them to a family where they will be loved. Send them to one to learn hatred and blind obedience.

    This is about private agencies? Foster parent here, yeah the system is fucked up and there’s tons of agencies with their own rules even in liberal Washington state. Each agency has its own agenda on who they’ll license, what they support for the child’s case (adoption, reunification, guardianship), age ranges, orientations, all sorts of things.

    I’ve gone through agencies and through the state directly. I wouldn’t recommend an agency as it basically doubles the amount of meetings and training you’re required to do.

    Honestly, the way Foster parents are treated as Air B&B’s and with zero rights, I don’t recommend anyone become a foster parent. Let the system burn so it might be rebuilt.

      You’re going to throw a lot of babies out with that bathwater. I’m sure there’s a better way.

        I think last I heard 47 children died this year due to rushing the kids back to their parents.

        I had a 6 month old drug exposed child that was medical fragile and DCYF rushed to reunite after the parents got out of rehab. Mom failed actually but Dad didn’t. Day 29 back to parents and day 30 been on the run from the law. Kid is probably dead now due to the amount of care he needed.
