International Adoption Agency Bail Out Bill

I keep on saying this, but it really is true. The bill itself clearly is created to INCREASE INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS and was written by  the well-organized and highly orchestrated adoption industry lobby machine. It takes money form other programs that actual feed and house children and allows those funds to be given to adoption agencies for “education” which basically allows them to have government funded tax payer moneys to promote their businesses. It’s not about helping children, it’s so other agencies don’t go out of business like CWA or Adoption Ark have!
