Why is it that people go to other countries to adopt children instead of here in the USA?

We have plenty of children right here in the USA that need love and would love to be adopted, why go to another country. I think it is so important to take care of each other here at home before trying to save people in other countries.

    It is harder to find younger children infants to 3 years old to adopt in the USA. In most cases it takes less time and money to do private adoptions overseas.

    because the babies in u.s. are much better effective off than the babies in different international places. the babies in different international places are in much better elect. and that i'm guessing also because the american people elect to get those babies out of the terrible residing circumstances of their united states of america and convey them to u.s. the position they are going to have a better effective existence, than the existence that they are residing of their abode united states of america. i had extremely concept about adopting a newborn from a diverse united states of america. take care.

    Just a guess, but the red tape in the US is probably twenty miles long....whereas in other countries you can get a baby faster.
