Surely you jest! They'll flat out tell you that adoption is an alternative to abortion. They'll point out there are waiting lists to adopt babies, and tell anecdotal stories about people waiting for years for a baby. Then, they'll show pictures of late-term aborted foetuses, who are white.
There are years-long waiting lists to adopt a healthy, white infant. However, if the baby is black, mixed-race, crack-addicted, or disabled in any way, those children will languish forever in a series of foster homes. If the baby is taken to raise by its mother, in an attempt to punish herself or having been talked into it being the "responsible" thing to do, then changes her mind in several months or years, it's no longer adoptable because it's not an infant. Nobody wants it, so it's years of foster homes for that child too if it's given up, or the child can grow up with a mother (at least) who never wanted him/her.

sorry I'm not quite sure if I follow your point here other then it's harder for black children to get adopted then white children, what does that have to do with the issue I'm stuck on with this guy? if you could clarify maybe thanks
