Guess you’ve never tried to adopt? I have friends who are adopted and would gladly adopt, but can’t because adopting a baby can cost more than higher a surrogate (if you get lucky enough to be picked for the few babies that are available and trying to adopt an older child can be a huge nightmare because some of the children when it comes to extended family fighting the adoption and the years of approval you have to go through.
And don’t be a single person trying to adopt in the South or Midwest, where most of the adoption agencies are run by faith-based organizations like Catholic Charities or Volunteers of America which prohibit or deny single parent adoptions in order to avoid allowing gay people to adopt.
