Then you have a percentage of children who are foreign born. The birthparents would not be US citizens thus not qualifying them to adopt.
When you put those two figures together it would WELL meet the majority of birthparents who would NOT qualify to adopt.
I think there is a minority who are able... those who placed voluntarily and have no history with abuse and neglect. Also, the birthparents of children who were familial adoptions that were not Child Welfare driven.
Like Brandy said... IF they meet the qualifications which the majority would not.

Hmm, got some stats to support your claims Nan? Remember your state is one state and is not representative of all 50.
