The TLDR Question I have is rather open ended....

....why does the U.S. adopt so many foreign babies, when we have so many homeless and unwanted babies here in America already?

And if the Govt. is going to stomp on freedoms, why not start with banning ALL foreign adoption until and unless we reach a point where we've solved our own domestic unwanted baby/child situation.

Why allow importing of babies when we have babaies who need and deserve love and a loving home, and by the way cost taxpayers their upkeep, here in the States already?

Never quite understood this, either commonly, or when the lolFamous do it (i.e. See Pitt/Jolie).
