For anyone to makes statements like what you are saying, one has to understand the system. It isn't all black and white.

You talk about stepping up to the plate, do you have any idea how many couples and some singles are dieing to adopt, but the bio parents would release the kids.

We tried to foster parent too but there is so many government rules that it makes it impossible.

Don't worry, all the Republicans will soon adopt them!

What proof do you have to substantiate your claim that those who oppose abortion fail to care for children? You don't.

Adopting children is not like going to the pound and getting a puppy. Adoption rules in the US are very strict and give the birth parents, even years after abandoning the child, more rights than adoptive parents. That is one reason so many get tired of trying to adopt in the US and adopt children from abroad.

The OP should not lash out such hateful statements when he/she obviously has NO idea what he/she is talking about.
