My wife has dreamed of foster caring or adopting since she was in middle school.
My wife and I have only fostered a little boy in the foster-to-adopt program for about 9 months, and CPS took him away from us, alleging we physically abused him by
helping him with a wound he got outside and failing to seek immediate medical treatment for the wound’s healing (it was healing perfectly normally!). They also frowned on us for not wanting to put him in daycare, despite his weakened immune system. The ridiculed us for being inexperienced and young, as the boy was our first child. The CPS lady making the allegations essentially said our home wasn’t suited for children, even though another CPS inspector certified our home with flying colors.
CPS is corrupt beyond belief; it’s Marxist to the core, ripping families apart, which is the Marxist goal for making young revolutionaries. CPS has incentives to remove children from their biological parents, transfer them as much as possible when in foster care (3-4×/child is the average!), and to make as many false or true allegations of abuse they can. If they fail to do these things, they “aren’t doing their job” and, since the amount of funding they receive is proportional to the number of children in “the system,” they wouldn’t receive as much taxpayer money the next year.

this and
this.

From the U.S. Supreme Court Decision in the Oregon School Case, June 1, 1925., which Pope Pius XI quoted in his encyclical on Christian Education, [
Divini Illius Magistri (
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/p...i_enc_31121929_divini-illius-magistri_en.html):
The fundamental theory of liberty upon which all governments in this Union repose excludes any general power of the State to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public teachers only. The child is not the mere creature of the State
; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right coupled with the high duty, to recognize, and prepare him for additional duties.Another quote from
Divini:
Venerable Brethren and beloved children, We wish to call your attention in a special manner to the present-day lamentable decline in family education [homeschooling]
. The offices and professions of a transitory and earthly life, which are certainly of far less importance, are prepared for by long and careful study; whereas for the fundamental duty and obligation of educating their children, many parents have little or no preparation, immersed as they are in temporal cares. The declining influence of domestic environment is further weakened by another tendency, prevalent almost everywhere today, which, under one pretext or another, for economic reasons, or for reasons of industry, trade or politics, causes children to be more and more frequently
sent away from home even in their tenderest years. And there is a country [the U.S.?] where the children are actually being torn from the bosom of the family, to be formed (or, to speak more accurately, to be deformed and depraved) in
godless schools and associations, to irreligion and hatred, according to the theories of advanced
socialism; and thus is renewed in a real and more terrible manner the
slaughter of the Innocents.
