Since they’ve already gone this far into their pregnancy, why not adopt out the little tyke?

You'd think, right?

Turns out, the prevailing "it's all about me" mindset of American women has ruined adoption, too.

From mandatory open adoption, to negotiated terms of adoption, to failed adoption, there's no such thing as a binding contract with a woman in this country if a child is involved.

There's a reason we went to the other side of the planet when we adopted.

Yes, I’ve seen that a lot with people seeking to adopt.
It’s far easier to adopt a girl from china or an entire sibling group from Columbia than it is to adopt a child in America.
