When I read posts about IVF or international adoption, many people say that these options are stupid, and why not adopt one of the many homelss American kids. Where exactly are these kids? All of the couples I know have been waiting years and going through hell to find an American child. The kids I have seen in foster care are usually older, or a different race than I am, or developmentally handicapped, and I wonder, would all of the people who so easily suggest American adoption choose to adopt a child of a different race, 14 years old, with a physical or mental handicap? Or do people who have not faced adoption just not realize that American babies are a very rare commodity that usually take lots of money and many years to find?
