> children adopt from other countries

Maybe finish adopting all those kids who exist and need families right now, regardless of where they’re from, rather than force people to give birth to more babies that need adoption.



Many people would like to adopt a newborn. Various laws and other barriers make it essentially impossible to adopt a newborn from another country.

> Domestic – If you are looking to adopt a newborn or young infant, you are looking at a domestic adoption. It’s that simple.

> more babies that need adoption.

That's a strange way of looking at it. When you say it like that, it sounds as if a new baby will create an imbalance between supply and demand. There's 2 million families waiting to adopt a newborn, so a new baby will help balance that, not imbalance it.

Fertility is dropping, so I wonder if there will be an even higher demand for newborns in the future.
