Dad grew up with a single mother after Tarawa made her a widow. They were so poor he and his brother lived in an orphanage for awhile. So he had unique views on kids needing adoption.
Based on his stories, it is apparent that even half decent adoptive parents are better than no parents. There are not enough parents in any state. In any state. So the whole argument is absolute garbage. If there are good parents, gay, straight, or wiener dogs with a stable income, thats good enough. The kids need a home.
Where are they then?
I know a couple who have spent in access of 100k trying to have a child. They are now on a waiting list for an infant. They were told it would take 9 months to 18 months before one would be available.
