Those are the numbers for adoptions by parents who have no prior connection to the child like imagine u make 5k a year and u can’t afford to care for ur child so u get pressured into relinquishing them to a private agency and an infertile couple who HAS to have a baby drops 50k to adopt ur baby and they are strangers and your baby isn’t even going to be cared for by somebody in your own community who is able to but instead is going to whoever can foot the massive bill and the adoptive parents consider this a “win-win” situation cuz now they have a baby and the baby has a loving home but u were a loving home ur just poor and now u have been forever changed by this experience nobody wants to acknowledge

#the first time i heard somebody say infertile and same sex couples feel entitled to a baby I was v uncomfortable but then u really get to #thinking about it and it’s like……yeah people DO want the infant with no attachments or backstory because they believe wanting a child is #enough to get one #like adoption should be an extremely rare thing…..we should be unsettled by adoption the way it works rn #the priority for a child should be keeping them in their home or close community …#and if more couples who would have relied on adoption as a family building tool don’t get to have children #cuz poor mothers that want to raise their babies have the means to do so…….then that is objectively better for the kid and people will just #have to learn that they aren’t entitled to others peoples babies
