Darn straight! Many families in our church, who are solidly conservative I might add, have had to go overseas to adopt, because the red tape to do so in the US is so deep. It takes a special person to adopt a child, and even moreso to go go through the process to adopt a foreign child. But even that process is not as onerous, or as expensive, as trying to adopt in this country.
I can vouch for the truth of this. Buddy of mine adopted, the hoops he needed to jump through were ridiculous. And for years, they had the constant looming spectre that the adoption could be reversed at any time, for just about any whim. I think that's passed, now, but I know they had to walk on eggshells for years.
Favorite story has to do with the kid's bedroom window. Buddy got gigged on some sort of adoption inspection because the window only opened 19", and needed to open 20. Never mind that the window opened to a 25' drop, down to a concrete patio.
My friend said to the inspector, "You're going to ding me because the window doesn't open quite wide enough, but it's perfectly fine for my kid to fall to his death?" Yup. See here, need to check this box. Says 20" Window Opening. No check, no adoption.
Buddy got a safety ladder - he was planning on it anyway - and the local fire dept to sign off on a letter stating that the 19" window opening was adequate. Bureaucrat checked the correct box, and the adoption was off and running again.
