How can you explain the large increase in adoptions from other countries? If people were so wedded to white children, why are there so many adoptions from China? Most of the people I know who are adopting from overseas care more about getting a baby whose parents aren't going to repossess them or track them down years later. They care more about not losing their adoptive children than they do about having ones that look like them.Originally posted by acludem
The reason adoption agencies and orphanages are so packed with these kids and older kids in general is because the couples who can afford the massive cost of adoption generally want healthy, white newborns. Latino, Black and biracial babies, as well as older children of all races have a very difficult time finding homes.

Most of the couples that I know who've adopted from overseas say that there was no waiting, no hassels from the adoption agencies (several white couples I know were prevented from adopting black children) and less chance of the parents coming back to haunt them.
