I'll bet the line of women standing at the door to take in these precious babies would be longer than anyone could even guesstimate.

To the contrary. There is a long line of unwanted babies and children all over the world, and very few parents looking to adopt them (but plenty of child slave and child prostitute traders). Legal adoption of them costs 10s of thousands of dollars, but they're routinely sold on the black market for a pittance. Dark children are easily had for $50. White children, especially blonde and/or blue-eyed ones cost more like $1000. There was a thread on here a while back detailing the actual sales negotiations on Eastern European children -- parents offering their babies and toddlers to complete strangers for next to nothing, and quickly dropping the price if the first offer wasn't accepted.

"Legal adoption of them costs 10s of thousands of dollars"

Well, I think you've hit on something there. Our adoption system is so over-regulated that it unduly interferes with the placement of children with entirely acceptable adoptive parents. People wouldn't be buying babies overseas on the black market if a reasonable effort would allow them to adopt nearer to home.

I know that the *intent* of this regulation is to protect the children, but as always happens when liberals are given power, common sense has been thrown out the window.
