The anger is directed at the women doing the single parent adoptions...not the situation of children needing to be adopted. Single women, over 30, who wish to adopt have been characterized as everything from selfish, maladjusted workaholics to man-hating lesbians...that is why this thread is approaching 300 posts. Vemon aimed at the women doing the adopting.

That anger is sometimes misplaced, too.

I know a girl personally who adopted a seven year old Chinese girl. The lady had been married and divorced, was incapable of conception so giving birth to her own was out. She chose China.

Why? The legal aspects of the USA suck with regards to adoptive parents; AP's are considered a second class with rights closely paralleling those of a stray dog. That's why she, I, and many others pursue(d) international adoption vs. domestic.

I have two Chinese American daughters and might not be finished yet....;-)
