1. Foster care is very different than adoption.
Foster care is temporary and the parents retain all parental rights and expect to take their children back from the temporary foster parents at some point.
Adoption is the alternative for parents who would rather not kill their unborn children but do not want to raise them themselves for whatever reason.
Foster care is usually for people who do want their children but either they or the state has decided that they are not willing or capable of doing so at the present time, but may be able to do so at some future time.
"neglect, abuse and other harmful conditions" is a pretty broad category. It is sad that 34% of the children have suffered from any or all of those, but the way to prevent such abuse is not to kill all of the children, or even the 34% who have had some form of mistreatment. Twisting their arms and legs off when they were younger, would be far worse abuse than what the vast, vast majority of them would have been subject to.
I imagine that there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who have been foster children at one time or another. Do you really think that m/any of them would say that they wished their parents had killed them?
