Ever try to adopt?
Do you know what the legal fees are?
Do you know that birth mother can change her mind and have the court take the child away from you?
Would you agree to an “open adoption” where the birth parents have visitation rights?
Change those laws, and adoption may become more popular.

Yes,to all the above......My son and his wife wanted to adopt due to being UN-able to have children. When the lawyer told them the cost, they couldn’t afford it. However they now have a child at age forty one. He’s a beautiful little boy , born with.... http://www.lpch.org/DiseaseHealthInfo/HealthLibrary/cardiac/hlhs.html which just makes him more precious.
take away social worker barriers against adoption of children by parents of a different race
allow special needs children who are adopted to retain their MEDICAID health care (as with foster kids) so that
adoptive families do not face banrupcty trying to pay the medical bills
treat the churches as partners, not opponents, in placing children
re-look the “open adoption” that mandates adoptive parents try to keep alive damaging, dysfunctional relationships with addicted. abusive, or criminal birth families for young children or wounded children or children old enough to say “NO”
lift the adoption agency and industry barriers and virtually every child in America will be adopted
Those with profound mental disorders may not all be adopted (this does not include Downs, for whom there are waiting lists of adoptive parents) - but one cannot rationalize abortion based on a fairly specific demographic of children with RAD etc who need to be raised in supportive therapeutic settings
Once.
Do you know what the legal fees are?
and the bribery fees to grease the skids for a foreign born child.
Do you know that birth mother can change her mind and have the court take the child away from you?
Yes. I still remember the case a few years ago - can't remember the name, but the father had a full beard, the son's name (I think) was Daniel and, while he was being taken away, he was crying, stating "I'll be good".
I'll never forget that.
Would you agree to an “open adoption” where the birth parents have visitation rights?
No, because then it is no longer an adoption.

You have a studied ignorance of satire and irony.
