Straightblues,
You are entitled to your opinion so I'm not offended.
I don't know if there are a shortage of babies in the LA system. I was just told by my agency that they were in desperate need of foster parents because everyone only wanted to be fost/adopt parents and very, very few wanted to do straight fostering. Also my agency told me that they don't have tons of families willing to take black, hispanic or biracial boys. All of whom, I would openly welcome into my homes.
I've had two calls for babies, both newborns, since I added my name to the list of foster parents.
In a great world, all the kids in foster care would be placed in a two family home where the mom was a stay-at-home, but sometimes the world isn't that great. And in a truly great world, these kids wouldn't be in the system but at home with their birth parents. Unfortunatley that's not the case either. So the best the system can do is place the children in homes where they hope and pray the kids will be loved and well taken care of and sometimes that's in two parent homes, where both parents are working, or two parent homes, where only parent is working, or single parent homes.

Let them go to people that can be there to take care of them. Sorry but remember what is the most import thing here is what is in the best interest of the Children.
Also, there are a lack of infants in the system in Los Angeles. There are more two parent families with stay at home mothers that want them. Don't ruin with childs chance of finding a loving two parent home with a stay at home mother or father.
Sorry in adavance if you don't like my answer. I am sure it wasn't what you wanted to hear.
