The adoption system needs to be reformed in America. Make it more popular to adopt instead of spending thousands in IVF clinics. Make it more popular to adopt babies in this country would help.

You bet ya!

One of the first steps would be to reform the foster care system so those kids can be adopted. The system in my state has the lovely habit of actually removing foster children from homes where they feel the kids are bonding. As for adopting you can forget about it, even if they kill one of their children parental rights will not be terminated and after they get out they are reunited with their non-murdered children. I get so frustrated some times I could spit.

Another thing that needs to be done is, "All adoptions are final 30 days after the papers go through." People are scared to adopt because the birth parent can come back up to two years later and take the child back.

This is one reason why overseas adoptions are popular.

If people don't think adoption works, then they're not going to go through the process. I'll never understand why people will spend thousands on IVF when most adoptions are half the cost. Plus people need to get over having the perfect baby. I tried to help a friend get a baby adopted and it was very disillusioning to hear people's reasons for not adopting.

If only the Catholic church had used all those gay, child molesting priest payoff millions to open even one orphanage.
