[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 508186, member: 11791"] Well... I hate to sound cold and calloused, but... what it really does is get kids "out of the system" where they are somebody else's problem. It isn't right, and it isn't fair, but for the most part, it does play into the picture. Its the main reason why multiple couples we are friends with have chosen to remain childless rather than adopt. WAY back, when I was a kid, there was "some" recognition that history mattered. They still didn't tell you much... but, adoptive families were split into two streams - the "blue ribbon" stream, and the "others". If you were "blue ribbon", you got the babies that came from the "best" situations... the "others" got the rest. That wasn't fair either - I know families from both streams. [/QUOTE]
