Wow, that's a ton of information! Great post Kat! I wonder where HUD fits into this mess???? I have a strong feeling that it does. They should deeply investigate every person in every state and do thorough background checks on them. How many are foreigners? Do they have a history of name changes? I would venture to say that the most vulnerable of children are those in 1 parent homes with no fathers present. One of the agencies who would know about this is HUD. They should start with states with the most populations like NJ, NY, CA and then look at the states highest in missing children. I can't believe this is so huge. I remember as a child going with a neighbor in our neighborhood who used to help out orphanages. One year she threw a Halloween party for them. I now wonder so much about that place. I will never forget as we were leaving orphans holding onto the door of our station wagon crying that we were leaving. It broke my heart. What did they experience there? I now wonder.
