9 adopted kids found cuffed and starved

carnation -- perhaps they got paid to? Perhaps "mom" told the kids if they misbehaved there'd be severe consequences? Who knows?

Thankfully, this is an aberration.

Most adoptive families in my experience are great.

I keep thinking, though, didn't they look all scarred and starved? Definitely, most adoptive families we've met are great but we have seen some really sketchy looking foster parents. We've known some nice ones but we went to a foster parent training and were horrified because most of the candidates looked like they'd been in the movie "Deliverance" and acted like it too.Other adoptive parents we know have seen the same thing at foster trainings and some have walked out. Children's and Family Services will tell you they're desperate for foster parents but come on, they don't have to endanger the children.

besides that, it takes too long to go in and talk to them one by one everytime a new kid comes. they just need to place the kids, they dont have time to dig around. the fact that they were living in this nice looking house probably threw the placement people off...
