re: I wish people had 1/100th of the passion about adoption as abortion

Want to know how you don't know one fricking thing about adoption.... Call up any social services case worker and ask how many non-white disabled infants they have. Ask if they are being adopted with the quickness.

You clearly don't actually know jack shite about infant adoption in the US. You're simply regurgitating shite you've heard other people use as an argument and never took the time to see if it was actually true.

Infants, for lack of a better phrase, pretty much "fly off the shelves" unless they're basically about to die.

The US does have many children who go unadopted. It ain't the infants.

Go learn about your subject before you shite out of your mouth.

There are about 100K total children in foster care hoping to be adopted. The average age of those children is almost 8 years old and almost all of them entered foster care long after birth.

62% of all adoptions occur within 1 month of birth. If you need help with numbers, this is 62% of ALL adoptions meaning that basically, babies disappear quickly.

So, even if 10% of all children who are up for adoption were disabled, and ALL disabled foster kids were black. And, ALL of them were infants(a totally absurd assumption)………..you would be talking about a total of 10K children NATIONWIDE who failed to get adopted as infants.


Alas, since all of those assumptions are absurdly high, you can just go back to trying again. Fact is, if I call my local social services, there's a pretty damned good chance she has no infants at all up for adoption that aren't already spoken for and, in fact, she'll take my name and put me on a friggin list.
