[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Area adult adoptees saying they would rather not be adopted and stay in an orphanage? [/quote]

Well I guess it depends on the adoptee. Some would have rather grown up in their birth countries and others are happy they’re adopted. Since you have no idea what your future child is going to think, that’s why I recommended people talk to adult adoptees first.[/quote]

The opposite of being raised in an orphanage is not growing up in the US.

Adoption creates FAMILIES

Are you glad you have a family?

That what adoption gives babies.

It is [b]only legal (in the US) when being raised by their birth family is not a viable option. [/b]So, it is remedying an existing problem, for the baby's welfare.

Kids are not snatched from healthy, happy homes for the benefit of adoptive parents. That is a distortion of the concept of adoption. [/quote]

You’re living in dream land.  Adoption may create families, but it also destroys families and rips families apart.  The domestic and international adoption industries are both rife with coercion, abuse, and outright baby-selling.  At best, a young woman in poverty with little societal support is taught by an “adoption counselor” that the highest form of selflessness and love is to give her baby “a better life”.  She may be desperate enough to accept financial support so she can have safe housing and prenatal care during pregnancy, and then Even if she is told that she can change her mind until the last minute, she is hounded and guilted if she does so.  Some agencies have the prospective adopters even lurking at the hospital while the infant is delivered and mothers are pressured into signing relinquishment papers immediately after delivery, when they are in a maelstrom of pain and emotions and this happy, crying couple who Supported her financially are beaming down with joy and thanking her...and in many states, once a post partum woman signs relinquishment papers, there is no revocation period.  It’s coercive.

I contrast that with genuine orphans or children in severe neglect situations.  But it’s important for people to know that those are very rare, and that many social service agencies run on anti-poverty bias and systemic racism.  Adoption outside the biological family should be extremely rare if the bio family wishes to parent a child.[/quote]
