This story is actually in my nick of the woods (I live about 15 miles from Woodland, which is right up the I-5 from Vancouver, where I live). Reading all of the news about the Harts gave me a very strong impression that they adopted those kids as essentially life-style accessories, which is the worse possible reason to have kids. Virtue-signalling as well, and even worse reason for having kids. I think a lot of it was that they wanted to show to the world that a lesbian couple was just as capable of raising a family as any other kind of couple. They also wanted to show a commitment to "social justice", which is the virtue signalling part. I think the kids became more difficult to manage as they grew up, which resulting in all of the nonsensical restrictions on their behavior (the pizza incident, not being able to talk openly at the dinner table, having to exit the house in single file order, etc.).
I think the Hart ladies (not to be confused with the Heart Sisters, who are also from the Northwest) gradually lost control and they could not handle that fact emotionally. Thus they were finally driven over the edge (literally) with the arrival of CPS officers on that fateful day.
I agree with your analysis except, I have a much darker view of their motivations. I think they had evil intent from the start. In my experience childless lesbians are absolutely full of hate, hate of men and children especially. Like all women they are excellent liars (or more likely, society seems unable to see their hatred even when it's clearly displayed).
Lesbians who have their own children (a few of whom I know in my neighborhood) seem to have a more mellow view. Perhaps the experience of bearing children clears their hatred, whereas the experience of not having their own kids and adopting a bunch of other kids intensifies their natural inherent hatred.
Most women are terrible step-parents anyway, even when they are hetero. The evil stepmother is very real. Combine that with lesbian anger and you've got black evil.
