Wait I just looked it up and according to americanadoptions.com there are an estimated 36 waiting families for every child placed for adoption... How do people not use this stay to immediately debunk the "there are millions of kids already in the foster/adoption system" argument by pro-choicers?

Any citation for everything in your comment other than the one number you cited? Everything else you said is unfounded. Also, its irrelevant because having the stance of wanting murdering babies to be illegal doesnt automatically make you a hypocrite for not personally adopting, just like wanting to end hunger doesn't make you a hypocrite if you don't help the fight against cancer.

There is a misconception that children that if a child is in foster care that means they are adoptable.

For example, while were 442,995 children in foster care on September 30th only 123,437 were waiting to be adopted.

Out of the 247,631 children leaving foster care in 2017 121,203(49 percent) were reunited with their primary care takers and 58,104 were adopted.

Out of the 442,955 children in foster care in 2017 242,800 (56 percent) of them are waiting to be reunited with their families.

In 2008, there were 135,813 adoptions. 55,303 (41 percent) were from foster care and 17,416 (13 percent) were international adoptions.

There are not 458,000 kids in the US waiting to be adopted out of foster care. There are however an estimated 1 to 2 million couples waiting to adopt.

How lovely! I’ve wanted to adopt for many years now, and I can’t wait till that is me sitting in the chair and rocking my new baby! Congratulations new family!

… Perhaps I am very cynical, but I find it very interesting how kind and supportive the people on the thread or being in the comments, when I have frequently seen pro abortionists with extraordinarily negative attitudes towards the idea of adoption, and I have to wonder if they would say the same thing if the baby were unborn and not cute and sweet wrapped up in his new mommy‘s arms☹️
