What does "Adoption Friendly State" mean to you?

I see PAP's talk about 'Adoption Friendly States' often - but what I'm noticing is that it really isn't 'adoption friendly' it's adoptive parent friendly...in fact, I often see states with the most unfriendly birthparent laws referred to as "adoption friendly" - which I find kind of odd.

I often see states with no revocation period referred to as 'adoption friendly' - and honestly, I don't see them as friendly at all - I see them as barbaric!

I'm not looking to debate or anything - just wondering how you view adoption friendly.

Wouldn't an "Adoption Friendly State" be a state that has laws that make sure EVERYONE is treated right/fairly? That's the kind of 'adoption friendly' I could get behind!
