I happened to remember a few years ago (in late 2012), when Russia had completely disallowed US citizens to adopt Russian children due to 19 of them dying under US adopive parents' care.
RT article on the ban
https://www.rt.com/politics/canceled-altered-ombudsman-russian-314/
Another RT article cites another article that outlines how kids are being sold due to shady "rehomings".
https://www.rt.com/usa/underground-adoption-network-rehome-children-634/
The Dima Yakovlev Law bans citizens of the United States from adopting children from Russia. The law was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on 28 December 2012 and took effect on 1 January 2013.

Remember that Clinton's final day as secretary was February 1, 2013.
Here's a gawker article on "private on How Parents Use Facebook and Yahoo to Unload Adopted Kids Online

Looking into rehomings, I found Wasatch International Adoptions, which is the one found in this wikileaks email:
https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/689
A Wasatch International employee is quoted:
Even though child trafficking is a major concern for Moyes she worries about the immediate help children need trapped In the rubble from a country in ruins. "How long will that child survive without somebody rescuing them," Moyes said.

It has a product page of the children available for rehoming
https://archive.is/dhq1V
It also has a page for international children (including Haiti) and lists it's fees. For Haiti, it's
$13,000-15,000 per child just for the foreign orphanage. The other costs add up to at least $10,000.
Haiti fees:

Other home stay agencies listing children for home stays.
Open Homes and Hearts offers children for 3-4 weeks for $2800

Guglielmo's hope offers home stays for $2900 (including children from Colombia or Ukraine)

Not sure about these leads, but the fact that Russia has banned us citizens and agencies from adopting their kids is telling. What do they know that we don't?

Upvoat for interest!

Putin knows from his KGB days that these so called adopted kids are sold into sex trafficking cricles.

That's what I'm wondering too!

Excellent stuff...the wolves are ALWAYS found around the sheep. The day care center atrocities clearly demonstrate this.

Facebook has some pages that also advertise rehoming adopted children. Here's one of them: https://www.facebook.com/secondchanceadoptions/

They deleted or blocked this! Do you have an archived link or screenshots?
Eastwood350 ago
The FB page is still working for me. Type in Second Chance Adoptions on FB.

Just read this entire exposé. This is heart wrenching. Families that would choose to give their adopted children to randos just so they don't have to pay child support until they are 18. Smh.
Yuke ago
My God that is heartbreaking to see them listed as 'products'. And to see the money involved, I guess it's no wonder it's flourishing the way it is. By the way 'rehoming' makes me instantly think of dogs and cats - it's pretty grim. I'm going to link this thread as well https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1508474 as there is some important information included. Also a probable link to Puerto Rico.

I hate to say it, but look into Tibetan Buddhist temples. They bring over kids, the parents ask and get no money, all money paid is state side. I heard this from an adoptive mother here in 2005. She had a beautiful little girl, 10 years old. She said the mother had died and the father had 5 boys to raise so he gave her up. For free. She said they were leaving the door open for the family. I never saw her again. That's all I know.

What the FUCK??? They are listed as products! http://wiaa.org/product-category/waiting-children/

Maybe we can check out the staff.

Thanks @Matchboxmeglet. Thanks for reading my post.

The shills are downvoating this to oblivion! If you downvoated at least have the courage to say why and how this could be improved.
Audalia ago
Notice the Haiti connection and Colombia connection...what to make of it now? If anyone has time to look into it, I would appreciate it.
Audalia ago
It's disturbing that kids are being advertised for test runs.
ThighHighSwampBoots ago
That's what foster parenting is. I know a gay male couple who tried out several boys. They didn't all make the cut. I reported them. They were confronted; nothing was done.
LostandFound ago
Good work, some leads here. I can see why you were insta downvoated , must have hit a sore spot.
Audalia ago
Thanks @lostandfound. The insta downvoat only gives me more conviction that this is on the right track.
