Two weeks ago there was a John Stossel special on adoption. Does the
median voter really want the system we have, where basketcase biological
parents can take their crying offspring away from impeccable adoptive
parents? How about the de facto efforts to avoid trans-racial
adoption? Etc.? I rarely expect the median voter to agree with me, but
this seems like a case where a comfortable majority of normal Americans
dislike the existing rules.
You might say that people are a lot more worried about losing their own
biological kids than they are about other people's adoptive kids being
taken away. But I doubt that explanation is right.
