You are confusing foster care with adoption.
No, I am not. And no, I am not an adoptive parent, I am a foster parent, which is how I know what I'm talking about.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Perception is everything and it appears that your bias against abortion is because you benefit economically from getting paid to take care of children that others cannot. I don't know about your state but you don't get paid to adopt here. Once you adopt, the child becomes your legal responsibility until death and you are responsible for all of the child's expenses.

He might. But if ejaculation should not be named is one of his points then he does not know how to make a baby. :laugh:

Why would you think that I am burying my head in the sand on this issue. Not to sound callous but I have arrived at my particular view through study and analysis, trying my best to leave emotion out of it. I agree that it is a problem but you can still find cause and effect at the root of it. While there are numerous different reasons to get an abortion, the one reason that stands out against all others is that the parent(s) cannot provide the best life for their child at the time, the life that our society dictates we should strive to provide, so they make that choice because (1) there was no affordable, accessible way to prevent the pregnancy and (2) there is no guarantee that good, adoptive parents will be found. In a no-win scenario, which choice do you make? BTW, I'm not advocating for abortion here. I'm advocating that we, as a society, should not be fighting tooth-and-nail to stop it but spending all that energy on making it unnecessary. That is, in my opinion, the only way to achieve a result were the most people benefit from the outcome.

Not only "that" state, many countries in europe have the same "rules" My cousins are adopting parents: 1) It took over two years to get the permissions. 2) It took almost 1 year more to get the kid 3) They had to pick a foreign kid because of some idiotic rules / public officers 4) They don't get a sh1t of the government for having the kid (that other natural parents get, i.e. Tax benefits)

Not really. Yes, you get some money but it's not enough to cover everything. Fostering is not a way to make money. Yes, I've seen examples where it has happened but I'm not sure how they did it. Pretty sure feeding them Ramen everyday is part of how you do it, if they are fed at all. And, as I already pointed out, that you seem to be missing, when you adopt they pay you every month until the kid turns 18. I don't know how much it is compared to when you foster. They also get free healthcare and free tuition for college (at least in Georgia, not sure about other states.)

Anyone who's doing it just to make money probably shouldn't be allowed to foster. :)

I'll make sure they add that to the list of questions they ask people. ;)
