"The Adoption and the Safe Families Act, set in motion by President Bill Clinton, offers cash "bonuses" to the states for every child they adopted out [to] foster care. In order to receive the "adoption incentive bonuses" local child protective services need more children. They must have merchandise (children) that sell and you must have plenty of them so the buyer can choose. Some counties are known to give a $4,000 [payment for] each child not returned to their family".

That's incentive to CPS workers to extract children and block all family members who might qualify for guardianship.  The Clinton act also pays bonuses if the child has traits that are in greater demand - such as blond hair and blue eyes.  That's a fact.   To get this money the CPS worker has to 'close the sale' with an adoption to an unrelated 3rd party.   It doesn't matter who that party is, as long as they're not related to the child. Well qualified grandparents are routinely denied custody because the Fed doesn't pay CPS for that.'
