I've been reading online about adoption in the US and with mandates from the Hague Convention in 2008, and overall the number of adoptions have gone from 175K in 1970 to more like 125K in years since. With all that our world and country is facing, the focus on what each child is going through (and the whole realm of IVF with frozen embryos) and more could be discussed more widely. There are no guarantees with how a pregnancy or health of a birth mother will go.
Then of course there is the care and often custody matters for rearing a child.
