Overseas no one is going to take "their" baby back after a couple years.

For Example, mother gets Pregnant, doesn't inform father that she's giving it up for adoption. Biological Father finds out and comes after the baby, when the adoptive family already has had the baby for a while. Nothing they can really do, they can fight it, but most likely it will end up giving the baby back to the Biological Father.

The mother can choose the family that adopts her child, this goes against some Couples that wait for years, and just cause they aren't good looking or appealing enough to the mother, they keep getting skipped over for the more appealing couples. I think this is wrong. I don't think the mother should have any say. The agencies should allow the families waiting longest to have first rights to the children. it would make the process much better and fairer for all.

End of rant, so at least you have an idea why people adopt overseas now.

One of the things I liked about Gov. Matt Bevin was he said he was going to streamline adoption in Kentucky and make adoptions easier and cheaper.

That's something that needs to happen everywhere.

Unfortunately, no real happy ending here. He brought in an 'adoption czar' with a nice salary who spent several months to come up with the same conclusion most people had been saying for years: the only way to fix adoption here is to hire a slew of social workers. Since the state can't even afford to pay for current workers, that was pretty much that.
