[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the righteous people here judging this woman and her partner for giving two children a loving and stable home can DIAF. [/quote] +1 - how dare you people judge this woman. she is giving children happy homes - which is more than i can say for many younger, healthy parents[/quote] Look into the history of why there are age restrictions on adoption. Also, the "how dare you" is over the top. There were plenty of happy homes that desperately wanted these children and the parents were much younger and healthier. [/quote] How do you know the specifics of Kotb's adoptions? There could be undisclosed facts that would have made the girls less "adoptable" but Kotb's resources make those issues easier to mitigate. [/quote] Those kids were easily adoptable. It would take severe health or other issues to make a child who is a newborn or toddler less adoptable. She [b]bought those kids[/b] like many do but the [b]sad part[/b] is the birthparents probably got very little and it all went to the attorneys/agencies or both.[/quote] That is not sad at all. Do you realize what could happen if birth parents got money from adoptions? It protects EVERYONE. No one wants to be able to buy babies. Crazy talk. [/quote] Do you not understand that the adoption agencies, facilitators and attorneys are making huge amounts of money off the adoptions. In some states, they do get birthparent expenses which can be a lot of money for living expenses. Kids get bought all the time. Its been since the start of time and is still going strong. Don't kid yourself to think otherwise. Clearly you haven't adopted or been offered a child for a huge sum of money. We were offered one if we could wire $60K and fly out the next day/no questions asked. What we were told was very very sketchy so we said no.[/quote]
