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?
