If the state decides that it is better for a child, of no relation to you, to be taken out of foster care and you are now their legal guardian: you would be happy with this turn of events? You have a job presumably, surely that would be better than foster care or an orphanage.
I can certainly see the other side of this argument though, it feels very unfair to saddle a third party with the responsibility to support a child they had no part in making.
