Believe it or not, to an adoptive parent, even the orphan institutions of eastern Europe and Asia look like less risk than adopting from American foster care- if you even can get approved (straight whites over 40- good luck) - and if you can be sure the child you grow to love won't be demanded back to be ruined again by the dysfunctional birth family
Ask yourself why someone like Angelina Jolie goes to Ethiopia to adopt instead of LA or Chicago

I wonder what would happen if we allowed young mothers to basically adopt out their babies to couples for a fee. The negotiated with the higher bidder winning.
I know this sounds terrible in the one sense, but I know of women who do NOT wish to have children, and would abort in a heart beat. Others, many in fact, would have the baby and raise the child in the unwed single parent household or with the grandparents raising them.
Why not compensate the young mother who wishes to not abort the child to adopt the child to a loving family?
Again, I point out that Americans spend tens of thousands of dollars to adopt a baby from Russia, Indonesia etc...
