Oh they love to trot out “right wingers say to give up babies for adoption” then they whip out their trump card: number of children in foster care. As if that’s cause and effect.

In fact, the only kids in foster care for more than a year -- before being adopted by a happy stable family -- is generally to let the mother/parents have a chance to get the kid back -- you know, after putting the kid in a pot of boiling water. OR it's kids who've been through the futile and wasteful attempts at "family preservation" so long that by the time the court FINALLY cuts of parental rights, the kid is a teenager (and totally screwed up).
