In 2016, there were 437,465 children in foster care in the U.S., 155,632 of whom were under the age of five. Each and every one was forcibly separated from a parent or parents, but there were no television cameras there to capture the tears. That doesn’t mean they weren’t there. I know because my husband and I adopted three children from foster care fourteen years ago.

They’ve only talked about it once, but the day they were “tooken” away from their birth parents was the worst day of their lives. They were seven, five, and 8 months at the time. The older two were playing outside when the police cruiser pulled into their apartment complex, and they thought, cool, like young children would. Then two police officers and a social worker came to their door and changed their lives forever. It’s a scene that plays itself out over and over and over every day throughout this country.

“Unless you have a heart of stone, you’ve ached for the 2,053 children who were forcibly separated from their parents at the border since May.”

Okay, so I have a heart of stone.

Nothing more vulnerable than a helpless and innocent child in the womb depending on his/her mother for nourishment and security.

I don’t think this is actually about the children, I think it is about selling an agenda. We have kids living under bridges being preyed upon by traffickers. Since they spotlight the failures of the elites these children are ignored.

How about comparing the treatment of the border kids to the treatment of planned parent kids?

“A civilized and decent society protects the vulnerable, and nothing is more vulnerable than a young child”
Too bad that doesn’t apply to the 50 million plus infants slaughtered in their mother’s womb.
