"I don't get it. The Chicoms were so worried about over-population they implemented the one child per family law but at the same time they make it difficult for foreigners to adopt orphans?"

I don't think they're trying to make it more difficult to adopt children in China, I think they're just trying to take steps to ensure that they're going to good homes and you can't fault them on that.

Just look at how many Russian orphans are adopted and end up dead, abuses or sold into slavery (just inside the United States).

"I don't think they're trying to make it more difficult to adopt children in China, I think they're just trying to take steps to ensure that they're going to good homes and you can't fault them on that."

As a parent of two Chinese girls, I would concur. They really do want to see the best for these children.

As for why not adopt domestic orphans, oftentimes by the time the children are released for adoption they have many issues that many of us are not really capable of dealing with, especially as first-time parents. Better not to criticize anothers' adoption choices unless you are willing to do what you are demanding others do.
