I wonder how many of these women are just buying the babies because they can not pass the screening tests in the USA because they have an "alternative lifestyle." (that is homosexual for those in rio linda)
Do these women live in states which allow "second parent" or same sex partner adoptions?
They must REALLY hate men given their list of particulars. These little girls are soooo screwed.
Good question. It is against Chinese regulations to adopt there if you are homosexual. It is a specific question that is asked in the homestudy and any agency that covers it up risks losing their ability to do placements.
At the same time there are homosexuals that do adopt from China. Most single women I know of who have adopted from China are conservative Christians who haven't found a suitable marriage partner and want to give a child a home.
And frankly, babies are "bought" in adoption just about the same manner in which you "buy" a birth child by paying the hospital bill. All of the money goes to cover the expenses of the adoption. Even the $3,000 I gave to the orphanage seems small when I consider the care they gave my daughter for the first year of her life.
I'm almost 100% positive Michigan does not allow it. Michigan is a very gay unfriendly state. Civil Unions are banned here(even passed in Wayne County), and there's a questionmark over the legality of 'domestic benefits'.
If you had read my post #40, you would learn that these children are not bought -- that most of the cost comes from putting together the paperwork and traveling to China.
