All I will say is that as modern as we are God knew what He was doing by requiring kids to be raised by their married parents. Kids are traumatized when they do not have this type of family.

As a former foster child, foster parent, CASA, placement stabilization therapist (prevent kids from going to foster care, or prevent disrupted adoptions, and relative caregiver (like a foster parent but not certified any.ore with a relatives child), I know a lot about foster care. I've seen children in horrible foster care homes. I've seen adoptive parents that are way over their heads with extreme behavior.
The issue is the foster care can traumatize children as much or even more then what's happening at home. Children have developmental trauma. This is hard and the children do not respond to common parenting ideals. Parenting a child with trauma requires extreme patience and different skills. It would require on going professional support and respite. Parents who adopt don't usually get this. Love doesn't fix the trauma.
The foster care system needs help. We continue to see children adopted by at the time well meaning people.who are pushed over the edge. This is no excuse for abuse at all. I hope that if the adoptive parents are guilty that the system can be looked at and this prevented. Education, respite, and on going support is a mandatory need and shouldn't be overlooked.
Also I know that sometimes people are just evil and can fool others into thinking they are not. As a former foster child I've been in horrible homes that I have been abused in. No one believes you and you are labeled a liar.
