With the acceptance of single motherhood and abortion, there are way more couples seeking babies than babies being put up for adoption. It doesn’t really need encouragement. That’s why there are major crises in adoption whenever a country like Russia or China cut off adoptions for Americans. I could go on about how our adoption system is broken, but needless to say, our friends who have gone the adoption route have either adopted from a family member or family friend, or suffered horrors dealing with a malfunctioning adoption process. It’s a complicated issue. But the demand far exceeds the supply in today’s environment.
It’s unfortunate we don’t encourage adoption more.
