"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.

Well said. I really tire of the "take care of our own" mentality. The last time I checked, we're all humans and the most important thing is that you're giving a good home to a child in need; it shouldn't matter where they come from.
