Kids with issues, mental disorders, or other illnesses are thrown to the back of the line. Actually adopting a child costs a fortune and, understandably, has a long and laborious process to ensure the parents are good. Not to mention, most of those parents are looking for a newborn, and everyone outside that is thrown to the side. Thankfully, gay couples are often willing to adopt, but that doesn’t even get close to fixing the problem. The foster system is designed to reap profit from giving children a new home, even at the cost of holding them back from it. Our system is already flawed, and a lot of orphaned children already have mental trauma from lacking a parent before then in the first place. They may not be inwanted, but just like the fact we have enough food to fix world hunger, it doesn’t mean that it can happen realistically without some massive changes.

There you go again – I show a damning statistic, you deny it. Our little ritual. But just so you can't here's the references

You've mentioned a lot of hurdles to the adoption process, but the problem for your anti-life position is that the vast majority of these two million decent couples on the adoption line understand dang well how hard it is t o foster a child, and yet have the dedication to do it anyway. Claiming your child will have a hard life if you don't murder him is no excuse to murder him – you might as well gun down a bunch of hobbos and street rats because you think they have a hard life. How can it ever be considered distantly compassionate or in the best interest of someone to murder him? Especially when all these couples would take the child? I never said our foster system isn't flawed, but don't these innocent guiltless children deserve, at the very least, a chance?
