The churches frequently have a favorite adoption center or foster care facility they support. And that center will fudge requirements if they go to the right church. But it's not out of kindness they take these kids in.
There was a whole church that was raided for abusing their adopted children for free labor. The black adopted kids frequently lived in shacks without running water or heat. While the white children lived in the big farm house. It's particularly easy to hide in rural areas.
The adopted children were supposedly home schooled and were required to do heavy labor around the farm.
There was a big article about the raid and the children but I can't find it now. The Christian Nationalists are still doing it but they are more quiet about it.
Maybe MAGAt Mike was going to try the free labor thing but found it to be more work than reward? He only adopted one kid.... supposedly.
