I don't know about the National Prayer Breakfast, but there is evidence that evangelical effort to expand child adoption pool (greatly reduced after US enacted Magnitsky Act in late 2012) is the goal of current US State Dept.
MEGA 28-tweet <thread>:



1/ This <thread> provides a timeline for what appears to be a coordinated effort by the current WH to expand pool of children available for transnational adoptions, which began at the State dept.'s Consular Affairs office on Jan 27, 2017, and by DHS on Feb 2, 2017

27/ Will continue this MEGA<thread> tomorrow with more evidence on the intent behind separating children at the southern border and more info on HHS/ACF/ORR.
For now, info on HHS/ACF/ORR/UAC budget.

Thanks for slogging through (LONG and confusing). I don't have sleuthing talent to dig deeper (only have Google, Twitter. Wikipedia skills ). Bottom line is that the ONLY "accredited adoption entity" for State Dept. now has former Bethany Christian Services as approval manager.

In Argentina, the parents were "disappeared" and children given to "ideologically" correct parents to be raised.
In Repug America, the parents are incarcerated or deported and the kids SOLD( into adoptive families, fostercare,
