"And you really believe that NO child is better off with one parent? Even if China runs out of orphans (fat chance), the world is full of orphans. I adopted two children from Russia. They are blessed to have a daddy, but I can assure you that I pray for all those left behind, and they will be EXTREMELY lucky to get one parent, if they don't happen to get two."
WHY oh WHY do you INSIST on ignoring the OBVIOUS?
It is UNNECESSARY for an adopted child to settle for a selfish single mother who is cheating her out of a Dad?
There are ODDLES and OODLES of happily married heterosexual couples, a male and a female EAGER to adopt these little girls. Single, selfish mothers are NOT needed to "fill in" for the street life. You have NO idea how in demand these little girls are by NORMAL parentS.
Yes, Russia is another place to get white boys and girls. Again there is NO shortage of eager NORMAL families and parents to adopt these children without resorting to selfish, single women who nobody wanted to marry. STOP CHEATING these ADOPTED KIDS out of a DAD TOO! It's sad enough that their birth mother is giving them up, MUST we deprive them of heterosexual parentS too? They need fathers too!

Nope, that is simply not true. If it were, orphanages in China, Russia, Romania etc. would be empty.

Your argument would only make sense if there were married couples turned down for adopting a particular child from China so that a single person could adopt that child. That is simply not the case.
As several people (including myself) have posted, married couples who meet China's medical, financial, and personal requirements are guaranteed a child.
As others have posted, the number of single people who can adopt a child from China is dependent on the number of married people because only 8% of the dossiers sent by an approved agency can be single people.
In other more adoptions from China by single people means that more married couples are adopting children from China; and not than some married couple is being prevented from adopting a child.
