Well, this is off quora, so there isn't any way to get a follow-up.
On the other hand, it's better than even odds that the question was a troll in the first place.
When I saw this on Reddit last week they said something about finding the details and it was a set of siblings they were fostering where the boy was violent, aggressive, autistic, and uncontrollable, while the girl was none of these things. They could not physically handle the boy, but did want to adopt the girl that they could provide a better life for. There was a whole thing about at first glance this sort of question fired up people who didn't know the background. Can't find the post in my 10 second google-fu/reddit search but one from about 5 months ago with the same picture but not the extra info. It's not choosing one just to spite them, it's about what they can handle and afford.
There's a lot missing and everyone is assuming they're monsters. How do we know the family can afford to adopt 2 children long term? This family could be going through some serious financial hardship after fostering children and can't afford multiple children. How do we know the girl doesn't have special needs and there is a very low chance she'll get adopted otherwise? Don't just assume they're terrible people.
Now if they just chose 1 over the other, that's a dick move, but there is a lot left out here.
I want to know what happened.
