why are so many pro lifers who adopt are choosing to adopt children from other countries and not america? I've worked in the social services field and their is over 700,000 children in the us that is in need of a permanent home.
That's something that has bugged me for quite some time, bro. I don't get it. I know a couple from my church who adopted two kids, and they are doing wonderful. These two couldn't have kids of their own, so they adopted, and I was glad to see them stay in the States to do it. But by far, the others that I've known have always adopted from either from the Orient (mostly China), or a Slavic country. The one couple that I know who's waiting on a child from China said that it's extremely cumbersome going through the adoption agencies here in the US. If that's true, then we are shooting ourselves in the foot by making the "red tape" so burdensome that we can't take care of our own children who have been orphaned.
