467. High Top Ranch

High Top Ranch was a department of Sorenson Ranch School. Blogs reveal that they focus on children with adoption issues. Often the corrupt adoption market creates a number of vicims. The child itself who leaves a culture very different from the one it is sent to. The birth-parents who the agents lie to. Denmark stopped accepting children from a number of countries because it was more about money than giving the children a good family.

A child from Russia doesn’t become a good American being shipped between the adoption family and residential treatment centres like this ranch.

It can not have been fun to be there as a teenager.

Update 2017

The facility seems to have been closed after an employee was convicted of an improper relationship with one of the students: Ex-instructor at Utah ranch for troubled teens pleads ‘no contest’ to charges of sex with minor (KSL news)
