Reply #49: You mean an adoption chain like a prayer chain? [View All]

[strategery blunder]

I personally would be willing to adopt a black crack baby, but right now I am an 18-year-old student and don't have the resources to support one. I do recognize that many people are unable or unwilling to adopt special-needs children (I am unable to at the moment); if every child on the adoption waiting lists was adopted, there would be a lot less need for the Department of Children and Family Services (or whatever the comparable entity is in your state.)

As I recognize that there is a severe shortage of adoptive parents, this is where my comment about willingness to pay higher taxes to support these children comes in. I realize that DCFS (or similar agency) would need much, much, more funding to support the babies that would have been aborted until adoptive parents can be found.

By the way, I will gladly forward your suggestion to my church. I had never thought of that before, but it is a good idea.
