Adoption laws are ridiculous. It puzzles me why it should cost so much and be such a lengthy process to adopt a child in the U.S.
Exactly. My neighbors, well-educated, well-off, responsible, solid marriage, etc., ere on the waiting list for five years to adopt. Finally, their turn came. They are wonderful parents! This little girl has the best start any child could hope to have.
My cousin did what so many have to do which is go outside the US to adopt. It's insane.
