Brandy, I think it's probably just a "misnomer" -- I guess "adoption friendly states" would be better called something like "adoptive parents friendly states."
I have to say as an a parent (and potentially adopting again), a big factor for me is looking at the mimimum amount of time before a birth parent can sign and also whether there is a revocation period. I frankly would prefer to adopt from a state that had a three to four day period before papers could be signed and no revocation period. I mean, frankly, if there were reforms that changed that, fine, but I think as an a parent, I would want to be in a place with the least risk to me (I think that's human nature, I guess). (I've posted before I'm not a huge fan of revocation periods.)
