The waiting children needing homes are adoptable for minimal or no expense through state adoptions.
For adoptions of babies, their are far more waiting parents then waiting children and many fees are needed to pay birthmother health, counseling, and legal expenses. And since it is more the parents waiting for children then children waiting, their is an elevated cost.
I have no problem with people adopting babies, however, these children are not sitting waiting for families, there are plenty of families to go around.
The young international children waiting in orphanages require large payments to the countries for which they are adopted from. These expenses are affecting these children, but that's the other countries choice to make.
I know I'll probably get slammed for this, but it really irritates me when people act like healthy American infants are waiting children. They're not. There are a line of parents waiting to take them.
