      As threatening as this is, I'm almost uncomfortable by how unable I am to give this my attention. Like god it's such an ugly precedent but also the entire adoption industry is a classist white supremacist meat market and like of course I don't have enough time or energy to focus https://twitter.com/AidanCTweets/status/1268810216348495872 …

      most queer people can only foster, not adopt, because queer people are generally poor as fuck I mean who, burning in the flames of this dying empire, has the time to just go outside toss a pigskin at some random little kid I'm so fucking bored with these mayonnaise TERFs

      This isn't completely true, if you adopt through foster care you continue to get adoption support payments from the state, so whether to foster or adopt usually isn't a financial decision

      It is true that adoption through foster care has a lot more variables than private adoption and it's much more common for the process to get interrupted because the bio parents come back into the picture etc

      oh huh. I thought it worked like, you buy INTO an adoption and buy OUT for fostering

      You get paid to foster, yes, if that's what you mean But once the kid's bio parents get TPRed the state starts looking for someone to become their new parents pretty aggressively

      Adoption support payments are lower than foster support payments by a fair margin, I think it's like 75% of the original payment But to foster at all you have to prove you're not financially dependent on the payments in the first place so hopefully that's not a big issue

      And as long as you're a foster parent and not an actual parent you have to run everything you do by the state. Most inconveniently you can't delegate custody to anyone else without their permission (you have to do paperwork even to get a babysitter as "respite care")

      So if the foster parent chooses not to adopt (after getting first dibs) then yes it's reasonable to assume there's some kind of issue that means they actively don't want to Which is unfortunate, because those kids carry that stigma into any other adoption conversation

      I mean you could call it "financial issues" in a certain sense of the word, like it's a sibling group of five or something and the foster parents just don't want that many kids (especially having to pay for college for all five)

      Anyway, re: the topic at hand, it is sadly still relevant A lot of foster-to-adopt cases are still contracted out by the state to private agencies which are often affiliated with religious institutions, because the workload is so high

          Yeah to be clear on the kid's side the kid's caseworker is a government employee and their file is with the government But on the foster parent's side, the state lets private agencies be your whole interface with the system

          And so even though the system itself is not supposed to discriminate you still get a lot of soft discrimination, where if you're a traditional cishet couple of the kind churches like you'll have a much easier time finding an agency to help you work the system

          A policy change like the one proposed here would just take a queerphobic pattern and make it explicit policy
