From what I understand, and this is just my experience with people I know, the process is unfriendly to white couples attempting to adopt minority babies and toddler period. Sadly, as children get older, regardless of their race, the chances of adoption go down. This is one of the reasons many people go outside the country to adopt babies and toddlers, there is no bias towards white couples that just want a baby. The system is rife with problems, the most common being extortion through out the process, but people do it anyways because they yearn to love and raise a child. It should not go unnoticed that since Roe v. Wade the number of babies up for adoption has diminished substantially. This should make us all sad.

I doubt that it would cost $10,000 to adopt a DC child. I don't know that for sure, but I'm guessing. I know at least four couples who have adopted children from China and Vietnam but DC - no way jose! How come there so many children in foster care in Washington, DC, if so many couples want to adopt?

Do you know how difficult it is to adopt a baby due to the fact that there are many, many more childless couples than infants ? Fact, all of the couples that I know who have adopted multiple children are anti-abortion. Guess when you can't have something, it makes you a little more appreciative of the gift. Childless liberal couples don't adopt very much, they can't deal with the competition of another child in the house. “anti abortion people don’t feel like taking care of unwanted babies”

What I DO know is that a lot of anti abortion people don't feel like taking care of unwanted babies and gripe about government having to supply care and food for said unwanted babies.

We have become a society that is willing to toss away whatever does not fit into or life plans. Hay don't want to stay in the marriage, the heck with working on it just divorce or have an affair. Don't want to deal with life's pressure, how about we smoke, swallow or snort something to make the pain go away. Don't want that baby, why not just abort. We have all become a microwave, my way or the highway society that does not believe in a power greater than ourselves. Again, Lord forgive us.
