Yes, and I feel that adoption process reform is needed (especially on the private end). It's something that I feel pro-lifers tend to neglect in their campaigns, which is a little messed up considering I feel taking on adoption reform would net them more supporters. While my husband and I have no desire to have kids, we've decided that if we change our minds we are going to adopt and most likely start off as foster parents to older kids.

Do you realize just how lengthy a process instituting those reforms would be? They're absolutely necessary, but even if they were begun today, the process of researching, formulating, passing, and instituting policies that deal equitably with all parties involved (prospective adoptive parents, birth parents, and child), along with the checks and balances necessary to keep things equitable would take years, potentially decades. By the time reform was complete, a number of couples currently ineligible to adopt would have aged out of eligibility under even the least restrictive (within reason) criteria.

Surrogacy isn't ideal, but under the current circumstances, it's the only option open to a lot of people.

While there are certainly plenty of couples that would currently be left in the lurch, there is still the matter of what today's kids and their descendants will encounter when they go to adopt. I say we should still press for adoption reform in conjunction with addressing the social demand for having (so many kids). Only paying attention to the current situation strikes me as shortsighted, and if I wasn't already pulled in 500 different directions right now I'd be all over pressing for adoption reforms starting today. That way, when the reforms are in place, there will be fewer children in the queue and prospective adoptive parents will have an equitable process available to them that's much easier to maintain. Along with that, hopefully the surrogacy demand will decline, and there will be decreased (but not eliminated) strain on resources that can be used to raise children on a more level playing field financially and emotionally.
