I see your point. But there have been cases where foreign parents have gotten their children back. There was one not too long ago but I don’t remember the details. It was in the news, though. It is older children that have a very hard time finding families. If you do a search and read some of the stories, they will break your heart. Children just wanting loving families. I think we often take a lot for granted in life, like having loving families. God bless those who adopt.

I don't think I've ever heard of that happening. Details would be welcome. It is older children that have a very hard time finding families. If you do a search and read some of the stories, they will break your heart. Children just wanting loving families. I think we often take a lot for granted in life, like having loving families. God bless those who adopt.

Unfortunately, as noted, many adoption agencies have financial incentives not to place children when they would be most adoptable. Unfortunately, many of the older children seeking adoption have significant personal problems (in some measure, because they haven't had real parenting), and so prospective adoptive parents would have to risk everything in order to take them in.

These problems would be avoided if we returned to the norm of having babies adopted at birth.
