We found out as soon as the kid hit the system legal steps were being taken to have him permanently removed and put up for adoption.

My jaw hit the floor. That is dystopian sci-fi nightmare stuff. We have kids whose "look at me, genderspecial" mothers are transing them and those kids aren't taken away, yet a loving normal mom gets sick and they try to take hers??? This is messed up.

It was pretty horrific. Basically the UK gov had decided to try to increase the number of kids with the intent to clear out the foster system a bit... But people want little kids and babies, not challenged tweens and up.

So in an effort to hit targets and pick up the extra gov funding that came from reaching targets, social services got overzealous.
