Why do so many people in the US adopt from other countries?

Answer

If a couple wants a baby adopting isn't as easy as you think and there are many rules and regulations that come with the U.S. Adoption Agencies. Age is a factor; sometimes the fact you aren't married and living together; and also if you are gay. I have gay friends in the States (both females) and they have adopted two children successfully from other countries. They are fantastic parents and spend every weekend with good quality time with their children. To the children it's just two women in a house raising them and when the time comes they intend on telling the children. It' about how much love you have for a child.

Some people just love children and have an open heart and may have 2 - 3 children of their own, but are able to adopt a child of any age just to have them in their home and give them a chance in life. You may not remember Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, but they were the couple that really first started to adopt children of all races and were extremely successful at raising well adjusted children because they had a great relationship between them.

Some people (if they can afford it) will go through certain lawyers to adopt a baby. Other times some childless couples may adopt a relatives child because of death of the biological parent or the biological parent doesn't want the baby. Blood is thicker than water.
