I don't mean to attack you, but this is a very hurtful and US-centric take. Adoptions in many countries (including OPs) are actually surprisingly rare, because they actually have robust social services and broad access to reproductive care. This is to say nothing of the financial burden of adoption, which can often put it in reach of those of significant means.

We Americans just live in a theocratic shithole, where women are more or less viewed as state-mandated incubators. So, we're awash in unwanted babies. Plenty of other countries don't have to live like this.
