I agree that the human species breeds in a way that worse then rabbits. Yet, we know better - and I suspect the rabbits don't. That being said,it's obvious you never tried to adopt and know little about it. It's expensive and difficult - even if you try to do it through a state agency. Since you write as if you are interested and knowledgeble on the subject - I suppose you realize there is an Internet catalog of unwanted children - with all the U.S. states involved - putting all their current inventory in one easy shopping place. It's kind of a Sears catalog for "free" kids. All the states work together - and anybody can "order" a child. Actually getting one is whole different story.
They'd much rather you become a full-time foster parent. My wife and I tried to adopt one of these "needy" children through the state of New York after our own kids were grown and gone. We picked out a kid in North Carolina. Then we got involved in one of the most worst-run and intrusive government agencies I've ever encountered. We had to go through training on how the government says children should be raised - like they know something special. I suspect many of the people doing the training were perverts or deeply depressed themselves. Keep in mind - at the time I'd already raised four children to adulthood - all doing well -none in jail, and no ax murderers. None living on anti-depressants, either. After we "gradutated" by giving answers on tests that we knew were BS - we became qualified to adopt. At that point - we figured most of the kids available had already been ruined by the state government - and we baled out. Around this time - my best friends lost their only child - and eight year old daughter - died of chicken pox (yes, it still happens). They were excellent parents - and both skilled, educated, hard workers, no police records, etc. Well, they tried to adopt - first with the state and got half through the process and quit after being insulted - and disgusted by the state government. They then tried to adopt privately - since they have money - and again - found the process to be highly insulting - and extremely expensive with an array of "experts" along the way - all with their hands out for money. They finally gave up - and did not adopt. So, there you go - they lost their child and did not buy a new one. One less in our population.
