No, adoption is not supposed to be voluntary.  Adoption encompasses much more than those parents who feel they can't raise their kids or that they can give their kids a better life through adoption.  Adoption also includes terminating parental rights where children are abused, neglected and abandoned and then finding families for those children.

My heart goes out to OP.  but there are many people in her situation who end up having parental rights terminated because they could not care for the child.  [/quote]
Well, in that case the system is not working the way it is supposed to. Being poor is not a reason to take children away. Children can be placed in foster care against the parents wishes after other forms to help the family have failed. Living under a bridge is a sure way to loose your kids, a violent boyfriend is another, etc etc
Most of the time parents want to be reunited and families do a lot to meet all the criteria to be allowed to be together again. This takes time and effort on the part of the social workers and they are often incompetent and unwilling to help.
