Foster system is trash. And very few people are adopting older kids. It’s a tough situation. The real solution is to have people who can’t raise them not have kids.

I went through training and home study to adopt from foster care. They make it very difficult. Goal is always bio parent reunification. It takes years to sever parental rights. And by then, the damage is done. It’s truly a horrible system.

I am permanent legal guardian to 3 siblings. I can confirm that it takes years, diligence, luck if you can believe it and good legal counsel

Forced sterilization versus institutionalization… bold strategy.

One involves enforcing current laws… a common theme in our society which will greatly contribute to its decay… selective enforcement.

The other? Well… i wont characterize it unfavorably

Encouraging broke unwed teenagers to use birth control and decreasing stigma of condoms in black culture is definitely the same as sterilization. Apt comparison.
