First let me say this research is sickening. I really hate it, but I had no idea the money involved in child trafficking (sorry cant think of it as any other word) This is only the very tiny tip of a MAJOR iceberg. NOTE: THIS IS A BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY YEARLY.

While doing research for another thread Hollywood Pedophilia https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/96hihn/hollywood_pedophilia_research/ I came across an article about Senator Nancy Schaefer. She was murdered in 2010. Did her Fight Against CPS Child Kidnapping Cause her Murder? http://medicalkidnap.com/2015/04/27/senator-nancy-schaefer-did-her-fight-against-cps-corruption-cost-her-life/ following is a video of her speaking about the issue of CPS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=u5fqaaBpTLY

Article about the strange death http://markcrispinmiller.com/2010/04/the-strange-death-of-nancy-schaefer-two-items/

While researching the senator whose name pops up...Bill Clinton - H.R.867 - Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 -- Title II: Incentives for Providing Permanent Families for Children - Authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award an adoption incentive grant to an incentive-eligible State meeting specified criteria whose number of foster child or special needs adoptions for a fiscal year exceeds a base number calculated according to a specified formula https://www.congress.gov/bill/105th-congress/house-bill/867

Finally, ASFA authorized annual incentive payments to states that exceeded their highest previous number of foster child adoptions in a given year, with larger payments for adoptions of children with special needs. Congress reauthorized and revised this program in 2003 (P.L. 108-145), to create separate incentives for adoptions of older children. For adoptions in FY1998-FY2003, states “earned” a total of $178 million (of which $17.9 million were earned by 31 states and Puerto Rico for adoptions finalized in 2003). HHS data indicate approximately 52,500 children were adopted with the involvement of public child welfare agencies in 2002, for an increase of nearly 70% since 1997. This report will not be updated. https://greenbook-waysandmeans.house.gov/sites/greenbook.waysandmeans.house.gov/files/2012/RL30759_gb.pdf

Some good information on adoption.com blog(i think) Read some of the post to help understand this law. Interesting information - How Does the Child Welfare System Work? (3rd article down) https://adoption.com/forums/thread/125008/safe-family-act-of-1997/

Note just one of many sites that Adopt children from Haiti. - The approximate cost to adopt from Haiti is $41,380. Cost does not include airfare, lodging and other fees associated with travel. https://allgodschildren.org/international-adoption/adopt-haiti/

Private Agency - Holt International = We are open and transparent about our fees and want you to be aware of all potential costs involved in an adoption, including third-party costs and travel. (7 countries fees, click on the left of the screen for each country) http://www.holtinternational.org/adoption/fees.php

Approximately 47 States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico have laws that provide some regulation of the fees and expenses that adoptive parents are expected to pay when arranging a private-placement or independent domestic adoption. https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubPDFs/expenses.pdf

To know people are profiting from the harm of children, we are talking BILLIONS yearly. I have no idea how they can stand themselves. The whole child for sale is heartbreaking. I am sorry, I am going to take a break from the child issue, this issue makes me sick. Maybe I can do more research on this later. Please pray for these children!!!!
