@skip10 Is it not? There are lots and lots of people who get adopted out to strangers even if there is bio family who want them. Lots of white christians who focus on adoption as a way to raise kids of other races "right" and are willing to pay a lot of money for it.
Adoption should be child-centric, not a way to "create your family". Adoption isn't for childless people to fulfill their dreams. Lots of people try to "rehome" the kids they adopted, for instance, why don't they experience consequences? Plus when kids get adopted, their original birth records get sealed and they get a new "birth" certificate which lists the adopted parents as their parents.... why?
If people care about kids, they can be guardians, so the kid's connection to their bio family is left intact. They don't have to be parents.
