Detained Children Sent to Religious Adoption Agencies

Midday on WNYC | Jul 13, 2018

Amy Littlefield and Tina Vasquez discuss their recent piece for Rewire News titled, “Bethany Christian Services Is Fostering Migrant Kids. It Also Has a History of Coercive Adoptions.” The article focuses on the children being separated by the Trump administration from their families. Some of them are going to homes run by Bethany Christian, “a religious adoption agency with a troubling record.” 

This segment is guest hosted by Arun Venugopal.
