Okay, I may make some people angry but I've gotta say this.

What is wrong with adopting so many unwanted older children in the U.S.???

My childhood best friend is a foster parent in Connecticut. I also have a cousin who adopted a son from the Czech Republic 3 years ago, and is trying to adopt another child from the same place.

While I know people are looking for "babies" (the same way certain people look for kittens as opposed to adult cats) there are SO many unwanted older children that are in desperate need of loving homes. I also know that because of legalized abortions, there are far less infants available.

I just don't understand why people would spend THOUSANDS of dollars and go through miles of red tape just to have a "baby".

I don't mean any disrespect, I just find it bizarre.
