But aren't I at some level saying that I hope that some woman decided to relinquish her child to me? I don't want any woman to feel coerced or pressured into making such a life-altering decision. But I do fundamentally believe in adoption - I don't believe, like some people, that adoption is fundamentally wrong, or on some basic level worse then a child being raised by his/her biological parents IF it is done ethically.

Just my 2 cents but No, I don't believe this is what you are saying.
If you look at an individual woman and hope (or heaven forbid pray) that she has a baby that she can not parent so she places with you... then yes, you need to re-think your attitude about that IMO...
If a woman is considering adoption after becoming pregnant, of course you would hope and pray she chooses you, if she chooses adoption...
One scenerio hopes for an unplanned pregnancy, the other just hopes you are choosen to parent.
Karyn is right. The differences are subtle but in the end, they become huge...
