"There is such a demand for such babies (due to abortion) that to fill the demand people import babies."

People don't go to other countries to adopt because the domestic orphanages are empty; they do so to avoid the beaucratic red tape which is set up to ensure that child molestors and unfit/incompetent people do not get their hands on children.

That and the fact that nobody (generally speaking) wants to adopt crack babies or children with a history of abuse or emotional problems.

Abortion hasn't dried out this country's supply of children in need of a home, forcing prospective adopters to look elsewhere; cheaper travel and better access to information has allowed people to bypass hassle and wait times and cherry-pick the kid they want.

There certainly would be more babies to adopt if not for abortion. It isn't even debatable. The problems you state certainly exist but that doesn't mean there wouldn't be more babies to adopt, and very likely less red tape, if not for abortion.

And sometimes, people do accept placement of a child born drug addicted with emotional/developmental programs. And work to learn and help the child. And then a judge returns the child to a bio parent, who doesn't intend to do a thing to continue the progress.
