How to Sell a Foster Kid

Pretty them up, and take them out somewhere fun so they're all happy and bubbly for the camera. Then fill in the same info that you'd put into a dating profile on PlentyOfFish.com and post the pictures in special events.

A stylist to help you choose a new outfit, hair and makeup done by professionals, followed by a photo shoot and a video interview. That’s perhaps a normal day for a celebrity, but it was a special event for 25 children in Miami-Dade’s foster-care system who briefly received the celebrity treatment.

And here you are sitting around taking it like a bitch while they are displaying your children on the show room floor.

A Special Message from the Michigan Child Liquidation team.

Here is an article that I just came across from the great broke state of Michigan. A state which has stolen so many children, that they don't have the resources to house them all. So what do they do? Liquidate the assets. What a solution.

Michigan Heart Gallery Features Faces of Foster Kids

Lets take a look at this article point by point.

Hundreds of Michigan children have a simple wish. All they want is a family that they can call their own.

Translation to reality: They want their real families. Dreams of forever homes being pumped into their heads.

Friday marked the grand opening of the Michigan Heart Gallery. It offers a chance to be introduced to some of Michigan's children who are waiting and hoping for a home.

Translation to reality: The Heart Gallery is the Showroom Floor of the Adoption Industry. Picture displays of children stuck in the system. Don't let em fool ya. It's all about the incoming cash and the ability to present what is often misinterpreted as a positive outcome.

Smiling, laughing, serious, siblings, daughters, sons -- what these children all have in common is the need for a forever family.

Translation to reality: What these children all have in common is that they were screwed out of their family ties by the all wise and knowing babystealers of Michigan's Child Protective Industry.

"To have a family is one of the most important things," said Heidi Raubenolt with Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange. "Kids need support in their lives."

Translation to reality: "Although having ties to their family is important, we over at the Child Protective Industry thought it best to screw these kids out of their real families and fail them even further by bouncing them around through the foster care system and screwing them up so bad that nobody wants them anymore. Now we're making one last desperate attempt to present our work as a positive effort in these kids lives."

The Michigan Heart Gallery pairs professional photographers with waiting kids.

Translation to reality: So we're gonna pretty the kids up for the day and take their pictures.

More than 4,000 Michigan children are in the foster system. 500 are waiting to be adopted. Many of them are ten and older and harder to place. They may have siblings or special needs, but they have so much to give.

Translation to reality: Then we gonna throw in the fluffed numbers, and present all the challenges that the sucker parents are gonna face, and top it off with the heartwarming love giving bullshit that you're gonna get from a RAD child every time!

"A lot of love, a great sense of humor, energy. They're amazing kids. They really are," Raubenolt said.

Translation to reality: We fucked them up pretty bad, but they're all better now and ready to move into your home as soon as we can preform our process on you.

Each year, 500 children age out of Michigan's foster care system when they turn 18. On their own with little support, some end up homeless or in jail. That is just one of the reasons it is so important to get them out of the system and into loving homes.

Translation to reality: The Guilt Trip Tactic employed. And you can make all the difference in the world.

"There is a new generation coming that... aren't paid attention to that will become problematic. So, why not pay attention to our future now and not have to pay a price for it later on," said Edd Snyder with the Charles H. Wright Museum.

Translation to reality: Guilt Trip Tactic Shot 2 employed.

The Heart Gallery will travel the state showcasing some of the many Michigan children who may just be waiting to join your family. The exhibit will be at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History until May first.

Translation to reality: So we're gonna put them on display and hope to liquidate. Coming to a town near you.

Foster Kids Become Models for Miami Heart Gallery

Sunday afternoon though, Quisqueya took part in a very special photo shoot, featuring 44 different foster kids, looking for permanent parents. The pictures and their recorded interviews will be part of the Miami Heart Gallery exhibit at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida starting in June.

Note: I'll just bet that lots of ignorant people actually believe that all of these loving and caring SYSTEM SUCKS are working with the children's best interest at heart. "We just want these kids to have families who love them." Ah yes... I call it the, "Dreams of Forever Homes Myth."

Well allow me to call them on their bullshit for all of the wonderful people who haven't quite developed a keen grasp of the obvious yet. Because most of these kids do have people who love them and want them and fight for them only to loose in the end so some social worker can get a notch on her belt and small groups of System Sucks can benefit from all the subsidies and bonus money. Yes folks, there are kinship options such as grandparents out there who were never given a chance. There are parents out there who jump through hoop after hoop after hoop only to have their rights terminated so that they can put the kid on display on the Showroom Floor of the Adoption Industry. It's what's best, doncha know.

You see, they don't care about these kids one bit. Nope. If they did, they'd realize that most of these kids have real family members who love them. Articles like this fail to mention this little fact and promote it as a festival of kind hearted people who care so much about these poor poor abused and neglected children, that they work effortlessly to make these kids dreams come true by helping them to find a forever home. Bullshit!

They're doing this for the money, plain and simple. After all, there are rewards for getting these kids adopted. There are consequences for allowing them to age out of the system with nobody. It just never ceases to amaze me as to how they leave out facts like many of these kids have family members who love and want them and fought for them, and some continue to fight for them to this day. Yet the kids will never know because the social workers lie to them too.

Articles like this also teach the sheep that all of these wonderful children sit around desperately hoping and preying for a forever home to make their dreams come true. And I'm sure if you asked any foster child what would make their lives complete, and they'll tell ya getting adopted, right?

What do you think these kids are all like Penny from Disney's "The Rescuers?" Wake the fuck up America and the rest of the world! This is the plight of truest victims of the Child Protective Industry. To be put on display in some desperate attempt at a financially beneficial and ill-perceived positive outcome.

I'm sure that none of these kids have any thoughts or hopes about someday being with their real families again.

Bullshit.
