> If the problem is toxic home environments though, why aren't people suggesting that we cut out the middle man and focus on building a better foster / adoption system and encouraging people to use it?

Or we could just try to fix th social problems that produce the toxic home environments rather than ripping apart the families that society has already failed.

It's not poor people but their social environment that is described as toxic.

Also, all too often accurate of their physical environment, and the two aren't completely unrelated.
