    Because 1. It’s extremely expensive and 2. Sometimes it’s an extremely long process . May take even years for them to approve your “request”

    Having kid is often a selfish desire, you want your own kid, one that resemble you. You don’t want to care for someone elso kid

    Not all countries have straightforward adoption processes. It can be incredibly expensive and a very very long process. Some countries will only allow adoption of special needs children and have strict guidelines around who is eligible to adopt in the first place.

    Long, hard and expensive process in certain countries. Cuts down on the amount of prospective parents by a lot.

    It can be a really heartbreaking process, it’s not like you walk in and there’s a baby waiting for you. You may have to foster children before they are available for adoption and at any time they can be given back to the birth parents if they’re deemed fit again.

    It’s a very hard, expensive road to walk.

    Not sure. We fostered a child from CYS then adopted.
