THREAD: How is Betsy DeVos and her family involved in the "sponsorship" of the children who have been ripped from their families and may never see their families again? Let's take a look.

Currently, Michigan's Bethany Adoption Agency has 81 children who have been forcibly separated from their parents. wzzm13.com/article/news/l…

In 2013, Betsy DeVos donated $300,000 to Bethany after the agency claimed religious exemption from having to serve LGBTQ couples. politicalresearch.org/tag/devos-fami…

Bethany Christian Services’ Senior Vice President for Child and Family Services is Brian DeVos. facebook.com/bethanyfans/po…

As @GayeShermanNYC pointed out last night as I was trying to piece this all together, Brian Devos is a second cousin of Dick DeVos, Betsy's husband.

@GayeShermanNYC Bethany Christian Services, again run by the second cousin of Betsy Devos' husband, touts "Refugee and Immigrant Services" -- 'Helping refugee and immigrant families adjust to life in the U.S." bethany.org/other-services…

And this is the kicker--check out Kathryn Joyce's book, "The Child Catchers." Ms. Joyce describes how conservative evangelicals develop a "boom-or-bust" adoption market. npr.org/2013/04/16/177…

So, it's entirely possible that the Secretary of Education is involved in a conservative evangelical mission to run a for-profit adoption agency for children who have been stripped from their families, and the separation is both permanent and intentional.

And I really, really wish that someone involved in the coverage of this current administration in an objective fashion would look into this and present the facts on a national scale.

It's becoming clear that the government made no attempt to track these children to their families so that they could be reunited at some point. And it's also becoming clear that this wasn't a mistake. washingtonpost.com/outlook/famili…
