I have no clue if this is or normal or not, but it seems pretty creepy anyone can just shop for these kids even if you aren't legit looking to adopt one. You can search by race, age, gender, VIdeo profiles or pics. Seems pretty weird to me. But again, I never tried adopting a kid.
Edit: sorry those were my shopping perimeters, here you can set your own http://www.adoptuskids.org/meet-the-children/search-for-children/search
Gives you a full detailed profile of them as well... Again, I didnt even have to register for shit.
GIves you where they're from, case number.. Everything. Like what the fuck happened to blurring the faces of kids that are the news? But this is cool now? fucking jesus

So it's not weird to expose these kids to anyone who has a computer and wants to look? Shouldn't it be a bit more private, for those serious about adopting? LIke, they aren't puppies. It's like just going to pet store cuz you like puppies.

I think it's legit, your issues with it are issues with the way things currently on. People shop for everything online, including people. They shop for casual sex with people via their profiles on various sites all the way through shopping for marriage material on websites with personal profiles.
I don't see an issue with these kids having their profiles up there. It's not like they have any super personal stuff about them, including on what happened to them to put them in the system.
The only thing that confuses me is the "kids" over 18 up for adoption. At first I thought they were probably mentally retarded or something and needed special assistance, but most of them looked pretty normal.... so maybe they just want a family?

ANd just fyi... I'm not swearing AT you. I just swear a lot when talking, and I type like I talk. My girlfriend tells me I need to stop. sorry.

yeah.... If you don't mind
I'm kidding. But come on... You don;t think this would be weird if pizza gate didn't exist? I mean, you're correct in saying that I will never know FOR SURE, if that would look sketch to me with out pizzagate context.... But I pretty fucking certain I would have a problem with this regardless of context.
Your defense of this site, Is like the worse defense possible. Lol. I'm still not saying that there isn't a justifiable answer to this question... There might be. But I gotta say yours is pretty bad.
Brosif... Come on. I don't even know how to answer that. People don't shop for casual sex on line.... If they do, it's illegal. (depending on what state/country) Secondly, maybe don't compare buying a hooker so you can fuck her for 20 minutes, to buying a child's life? OR how about not using anything sexual related, as justification for things having to do with 5 year old children?
Also, Not saying anything wrong with getting a hooker, just saying it doesn't compare...And actually, In light of everything, even getting hookers seems way less innocent.
It's exactly like they have personal stuff about them, because they provide personal stuff about them.
Again, dude. Come on. Again, The point of the matter is it shouldn't be available to ANYONE THAT IS NOT ACTIVELY TRYING TO ADOPT KIDS. Even if you're thinking about it... Fine, go to the adoption agency, get some information, and think about it...What is your rational justification for them being allowed to do this? Forget about how it should or shouldn't be perceived, forget about the pizzagate context. What is the single rational answer you would give, to defend them doing this?
But to address your point specifically... They do give a lot of personal information.
First off, These kids are advertising they do not have parents... well the kids aren't but you know what I mean.
So anyone who goes looking through that site, knows that everyone of those kids is helpless, Doesn't have single god damn adult that would give an arm and a leg to protect them. At least if kids pictures are plastered somewhere else (I'm sure I'll get a comment saying "there are elemantry school soccer teams that post their team picture in the paper" Or some bullshit.) you;re not going to assume they are completely defenseless, lacking a single relative who can care for them. But what about the social workers? I know there are good social workers.... and we all know there are just as many horrible ones.... Even the good ones are limited to as what they can actually do to benefit the child... BUt for starters, not selling them like puppies is a good start.
Each profile provides where they are from
Each profile Provides where they live Currently
Each profile Provides their case number
each profile gives a detailed description about them, as detailed as possible with out saying wiht 100% certainty, "we're selling kids"
Any one who's half way decent with google, could figure out much more information on any of them, based on what CPS has provided them.
You can search for kids with videos...
The next step? What does that mean? To me, It means they found a kid, and want that kid...
That's not how adoption is suppose to work. The first step IS NOT looking at THOUSANDS OF MINORS THAT HAVE ZERO PARENTAL OR EVEN FAMILY PROTECTION... And Honestly, I do not know how adoption works,but if you're allowed to shop like this for kids, regardless of whether or not you're legitimately looking to adopt.... Then that needs to be changed immediately.
If that's how it's always been done? Then find the people who allowed that in the first place, do some research, and I promise you... I promise, you'll soon learn that person is pedophile, or did the bidding for someone that was a pedo. This was not implemented by someone with innocent intentions. This is how the pedophile works. We've seen a million examples since this began.
Laws, standards and practices, are irrelevant in whether determining if something wrong or not.
