A few weeks ago, child welfare activists discovered a Facebook page from an agency (https://www.facebook.com/...) where two kids around 5- or 6-years-old, adopted by American families nine months before, were advertised as available for adoption again. The two ads showed photos of cute black kids and gave favorable descriptions of their characters and abilities of the girl and the boy. The twitterati and internet savvy identified the kids from earlier rawer versions of that adorned post quickly as siblings being adopted together from the Democratic Republic of Congo and traced and identified the couple who wanted to disrupt the just created family bond. Not only the disruption itself and the disruption after nine short months created outrage, but more enraging issues played a role in this case.
