The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA, Public Law 105-89) was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 19, 1997 after having been approved by the United States Congress earlier in the month.[1]
Background and passage
ASFA was enacted in an attempt to correct problems that were inherent in the foster care system that deterred the adoption of children with special needs. Many of these problems had stemmed from an earlier bill, the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980,[1] although they had not been anticipated when that law was passed, as states decided to interpret that law as requiring biological families be kept together no matter what.[1] The biggest change to the law was how ASFA amended Title IV-E of the Social Security Act regarding funding.
Moreover, ASFA marked a fundamental change to child welfare thinking, shifting the emphasis towards children's health and safety concerns and away from a policy of reuniting children with their birth parents without regard to prior abusiveness.[1] As such, ASFA was considered the most sweeping change to the U.S. adoption and foster care system in some two decades.[1] One of ASFA's lead sponsors, Republican Senator John H. Chafee of Rhode Island, said, "We will not continue the current system of always putting the needs and rights of the biological parents first. ... It's time we recognize that some families simply cannot and should not be kept together."[1]
Ideas for the bill originated with both Democrats and Republicans.[2] First Lady of the United States Hillary Clinton originally voiced interest in the issue of orphaned children in an article she wrote in 1995.[3] She then held public events to give the issue exposure,[2][3] and met with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials and private foundation executives
over policy questions and recommendations. She cited the Act as the achievement which she initiated and shepherded that provided her with the greatest satisfaction.[3] The bill began in Congress with bipartisan support, then became contentious over issues of terminating birth parents' rights to children and funding levels for programs to keep children out of foster care.[2] Hillary Clinton played a key role in finding a compromise between Republicans and Democrats on the latter issue after negotiations first broke down.[2]
In greeting the final measure, Bill Clinton stated that the bill "makes clear that children's health and safety are the paramount concerns."[1] - end citation
Georgia State Senator Nancy Schaefer (deceased under suspicious circumstantces) investigated the inner workings of ASFA and found profound corruption at every level. The more adoptions, the more money States received from Federally collected taxes.

The Clinton Foundation appears to be the model used, by which Foundations, Institutes and Think Tanks have swayed public policy with respect to creating a mobile population comprised of "at-risk" children. Profiteering has resulted, an epidemic of missing and exploited children has resulted and a government unresponsive to the needs and concerns of these children (and likely countless others in less-developed countries) and the public.
I'm not sure how to put Pizzagate into it's puzzle slot in a conspiracy this pervasive and entrenched. Going after individual pedophiles seems counterproductive compared to collapsing the system which has spawned them.
Remember Vince Foster, Seth Rich, Andrew Brietbart, Michael Hastings, Sen. Nancy Schaefer, Monica Peterson, Ray Gricar (Sandusky D.A.) Rest in Peace
maybe I need help focusing.

Senator Schaefer knew full well what was going on in the system with child trafficking and is the reason she was murdered. Bill Bowen who was producing a documentary along with Nancy but was "hear attacked" and his final production has never been found. A very short clip about his project "Innocence Destroyed" can still be found on YouTube.
