The Adoption and the Safe Families Act, set in motion first in 1974 by Walter Mondale and later in 1997 by President Bill Clinton, offered cash “bonuses” to the states for every child they adopted out of foster care.
In order to receive the “adoption incentive bonuses” local child protective services need more children. They must have merchandise (children) that sells and you must have plenty so the buyer can choose. Some counties are known to give a $4,000 to $6,000 bonus for each child adopted out to strangers and an additional $2,000 for a “special needs” child.
Employees work to keep the federal dollars flowing;
State Departments of Human Resources (DHR) and affiliates are given a baseline number of expected adoptions based on population. For every child DHR and CPS can get adopted, there is the bonus of $4,000 or maybe $6,000.
But that is only the beginning figure in the formula in which each bonus is multiplied by the percentage that the State has managed to exceed its baseline adoption number. Therefore States and local communities work hard to reach their goals for increased numbers of adoptions for children in foster care.
The worst thought - fear for a parent is losing their child. To intensify that, try losing them to be subjected in abusive enviroments. Below is two links to articles that made my stomache turn, and enrage me.

As you can see this is INSANE! This kind of agency should not exist! I have made some bullets from Senate findings regarding HHS -Child Protective Services
Senate Report on HHS / CPS DEFICIENCIES
*HHS’s Process for Verifying a Category 3 Sponsor’s Identity and Relationship with a UAC Is Unreliable and Subject to Abuse
*HHS Is Unable to Safeguard Children from Sponsors Attempting to Accumulate Multiple Children
*HHS Failed to Require Background Checks on Non-Sponsor Adult Household Members or on Backup Sponsors
*HHS Policy Allowed Non-Relatives with Criminal Histories to Sponsor Children
*HHS Does Not Ensure a Sponsor Has Adequate Income to Support a UAC
*HHS Approves Placements with Sponsors Who May Not Remain in the Country
*Sponsors Often Inflict Legal Harm on UACs by Not Ensuring Their Appearance At Immigration Proceedings
Kentucky CPS abuses
The problem with fighting HHS-CPS is that you cannot get a district / federal court to intervine. For example, 28 U.S.C. § 1359 prevents a federal court from exercising jurisdiction
if a party is improperly or collusively joined. Federal courts also may not entertain an in rem action if the property is already in the hands of a state court.
The questions we all need to be asking now is:
- What interest would the federal government have in allowing the continuance of administrative tribunals known for violating individual rights?
And,
- Why has the federal government refused to provide the 14th amendment as basis for complaint, or to actively intervene to stop the trafficking of the elderly, children and the disabled by protected state actors?
Next Saturday, we will look through specific laws enshrined to HHS-CPS. Read through best excerps from various Judges. And what are options available to families suffering at the hands of this completely undesireable agency.
--edit
Please listen closely to the youtube video. As I will be writing WEEKLY on steemit, exposing the many facets of HHS- (CPS, CHILD SUPPORT, ALIMONY, "FAMILY COURTS").
My goal is to the best of my abilities, help educate others, help others to protect themselves. Perhaps we can heal families and our nation.
