Some parents choose international adoption because other countries don't allow the adopted children to go searching for their birth parents, the way we do here.
Perhaps it is only right for adopted children to be allowed to search for their birth parents, and wrong for this to be disallowed Chinese children.
Doubtless China likes to have its population problem solved for it by transferring that problem to America.
And so once they export children, China won't want them back, however cruel that may be to the children and their birth parents.
Giving a home to a Chinese infant instead of an American infant is rather ironic: if a person's nephew or niece were orphaned or abandoned, would that person let his nephew or niece go to an asylum so that person could adopt a Chinese infant instead?
Probably not.
But America has become such an overpopulated country, that we no long see our countrymen--or neighbors as family--but as strangers, so we just do what's most convenient.
As Americans, we owe each other the care of our family members in times of hardship.
But in our overcrowded country, that concept has become an abstraction, easy to ignore.
We were pursuing domestic adoption & had no problem with a degree of openness. Howver, we were in two failed adoption situations and that's when we decided to take the international route.
