WHERE do adoption agencies "get" their children?
I've never thought much about the logistics of adoption... can anyone clarify for me? I imagine there's multiple sources...
It's just that after this experience with CPS I had an email from a friend saying she just signed on with an adoption agency... and my blood ran cold.
I want to make sure I'm not overreacting, and that somehow I can support them... somehow!...
right now I just have visions of some federal-CPS-sucking bottom-feeder snatching a child like baby Sammy and giving them to innocent, unaware people like my friends!... ??? I can't even write my friend a happy email until I wrap my mind around this whole thing!
maybe I should ask a better question too: ***when working with an adoption agency, is there any way to ensure that a prospective baby or toddler did *not* come from the clutches of CPS/"protective services"???***
I also have an "ignorant" question but... RE: Adoption

I did just find this... still a little confused, but now if I'm starting to understand things correctly, I wanna find out what adoption agency my friends are using and *hope* it is out of this network! and no current or historical connections with CPS, at all! Please please.

There are agencys that work with expectant mothers who are looking to have their baby adopted out. These are clean adoptions
as far as I can tell. The prospective parents make up scrapbooks on themselves and their family so that any expectant mother can read
about them. This way the mother chooses who the child goes to. My sister is doing that. The agency does a home inspection and background
check on the prospective parents.

oh ok thank you so much for that info about "clean" adoptions!
when I see her next, I might subtly gently do some friendly digging with my friend to find out how she chose her agency... hopefully that will yield some info. I *don't* want her going down the path of doom! ...Fortunately I think there's a good chance she's working with one of those clean agencies. *thumbs-up*

Re: I also have an "ignorant" question but... RE: Adoption
I remember going to the health center at college one time, sitting in the waiting room. There were two large binders filled with "letters" from families wanting to adopt. Hear-tugging letters with pictures of couples, sometimes with a child and wanting to add siblings. Clearly they were targeting crisis pregnancies, but I thought it a perfect coupling of needs.
On the international adoption market, knowing people who have adopted from multiple countries, Korea is the way to go. If I'm remembering, they won't adopt out once the child is over 18 months old, and they don't want the parents coming to Korea... they bring the kid to you.

It could be that it is a "private" adoption agency and they do not use the foster mill warehouses as a commodity. If it is a non profit you can check it's guidestar status or tax form 990's, which are publicly accessible documents and can see where they pull their funding from. If they are getting receiving funds from cps offices as adoption contractors, as most FFA's are (Foster Family Agency), then they could and imo be participating in conspiring to terminate parental rights in an unconstitutional and nazi like way.
That's just my personal experience with adoption agencies.
Depending on geographic area, some places use pennysaver or craigslist to find surrogate mothers when they choose to adopt. I just know that adopting children in this country has become a financially incentivized industry where children are now commodities for the state. The financial incentive to "displace" children by foster care, guardianship and adoption far outweighs any motivation for the state to want to re-unify parents and children.

I'm not a lawyer but will try and help you any way i can. My postings may seem harsh but they all stem from personal experience with DCFS. I am not a victim and take responsibility for my part in my life, but I will always help ANYONE learn about the corrupt sick system.
