Have be wailing about this for days. Please just look and think,DeVose Adoption Agency should tell you what the real story is. Never forget,it was done in South America in the Name of the Wealthy Ruling Class.

Read about the Orphan Trains,little Stevie Miller and his twisted mind truly believes this shit. Hitler did the same crap in a effort to build his Special Pure Race.

...foster care is a mostly state-regulated industry, so the families will need to wade through local bureaucracy to get their kids back where foster parents and prospective adopters have the upper hand in meeting requirements for custody.

Of course, that's IF the parents can find out where the government deliberately scattered their kids, from whatever hole in the ground they managed to find back in their country, and whatever meager resources they might be able to scrape together.

It must feel like God herself has abandoned them.

This is my country, right now.

5. Citizenship question

So if these children are adopted, do they automatically become US citizens? If not, who would adopt them knowing they could be ripped away at any time and still deported? Finally if they indeed do become citizens, doesn't this defeat the purpose of keeping brown people from becoming Americans??????

PS. And I'm not even mentioning all the money to be made by Trumpanistas along the way by running adoption agencies!!

7. No, they don't. The adoptive parents have to file papers and jump over bureaucratic hurdles

to get them naturalized. I read about one young man whose adoptive parents never did that. He ended up being deported.

I wasn't sure where to start researching for an answer. I have called my Repub senators and rep (UGH) to request they introduce legislation to make these kids automatic citizens. Not holding my breath!

Adopted, but not a citizen, Texan in a no man's land
A man without a country
Adopted, but never made a citizen, a Texan finds himself ensnared by laws, deported
A lawyer says neither the United States nor Mexico has a record of Robin Whiteley's birth.


ALEDO — Lorrie Whiteley McMillan has spent another holiday season without her brother Robin Whiteley.

She is praying the family's immigration nightmare will end soon and that Whiteley can come home to Texas — the only home he knows.

McMillan, 43, was 8 when her parents brought home the baby they named Robin. Now, because of missteps the parents made in the complicated international adoption process — and bad decisions on his part — Whiteley, 35, has been deported to Mexico.
