Cohen’s adoption of nine boys raised questions about the adoption process and who is fit to adopt children. There are many requirements that individuals or couples must meet before they can adopt children.
Adoption agencies conduct a thorough background check of potential adoptive parents, including criminal records, financial stability, and personal references. Adoptive parents must also complete home visits and interviews to assess their suitability to parent a child.
It is unclear why Cohen was able to adopt nine boys. This raises concerns about the adoption process.
The case also highlighted the need for Child Protective Services to investigate reports of abuse and neglect more thoroughly. And what if any response CPS had before the allegations went viral?
His case is a reminder of the dangers of blindly trusting social media influencers. And is another case of the parasocial relationship.
