I do not trust right wing white evangelicals who adopt black children.
Seen it.

Nope.
Don't trust it. At all.
A couple things to add: I'm aware Barrett is not in fact an evangelical. That said, the handmaiden/oath-taking practices and tenets of People of Praise are so reminiscent of dominionist evangelical thinking, that I consider her an evangelical-adjacent stalking horse.
Finally: the responses to the original tweet sadden and anger but don't surprise me. The self-righteous white supremacy and colonizer mentality behind such adoptions is grotesque but undeniable. And so far, not a single anecdote that proves an exception to the rule.
