Leaves her 7 adopted children in Nigeria. I cannot even fathom.

She probably had a hefty susidy she was still collecting.

Yeah, it's worse. She was getting $3600 a month for the kids!!!!!!!! Even when she didn't have them! OMG!!!!

And, they are 'considering' whether they will charge her with anything!? ughhh!

This royally pisses me of. I am not an adoptive parent but i know **** well what it is like to be abandoned by the people who I called mom and dad. The one thing I can say decent about my former adoptive parents is at least they had the decency to return me to the State. I am angry for these children and I hope the Adoptive mom or what ever the hell she should be called rots.

Disclaimer * I had a horrible adoption experience and I had several horrible fosercare experience but that has not clouded my judgment I do know there are a great many of good home out there be it foster care or adoption. So for all of you that are the good homes keep it up the kids will never forget you

I'm appalled at what this woman did. I'm an adoptive mother-to-be, and can't even fathom why anyone would adopt kids as a source of income, or why anyone would have the callousness to just dump them like yesterday's rubbish. I hope those kids find better homes, with caring people.

Unfortunately, I have found that the majority of foster parents in our area (we are foster parents) seem to do it 'for the money'. It is even marketed by private companies (that have contracts with the state/counties) as a 'good way to make $$$'. It just sickens me.

That's revolting, and it sounds like pimping. Ugh.

We're adopting a child because we can't have our own, but we're not expecting money from anybody. Things will be just like they'd be if our son were biologically ours.
