      Of the children up for adoption a huge portion have pretty serious issues. Some it’s stuff like trauma, many are significantly disabled (like, learning and behavior disabilities, not just like deaf or needs a wheelchair), some are at risk of being taken back (a lot of foster kids are in and out due to unstable parents), and others have issues of providence (stolen from parents in developing countries).

      There are also issues like many adoption agencies are Christian run and will not adopt to queer people or non-Christians.

      Adoption is great, if you’re interested in kids but can’t make your own its definitely the first thing you should look at. But a lot of people like to act like there’s an infinite number of adaptable babies out there, but very few people voluntarily give up a healthy baby never to see it again.
