There's prolly thousands of babies that need adoption - but haven't been through an earthquake. It'd be nice if they got adopted too

I was wondering if it was because this is a newborn. Lots of people who adopt want a baby, but most kids in foster care in need of adoption are not babies anymore. No shade on folks who adopt, there are reasons and I'm not here to judge, it's just the reality.

Perhaps because they're looking at the destruction....My nephews were adopted from Manila over 30 years ago, not exactly the best of places then. And only my one nephew had his mum, but she was dying, he was 2, & wanted him to go to a good home.
