I know this is going to sound really harsh, and I know that there are people who will disagree with me, but I very firmly believe that in this day and age, with the number of children out there who desperately need good homes, it is downright unethical for people to have eighteen natural-born children. If every child is a blessing, why can't you go adopt a dozen or so who already exist?

On the other hand, given some of the sleaze in the adoption system, that's not ideal, either.

I'm not just talking about the foul stuff Madonna and Angelina Jolie do -- I'm talking about buying babies here (after Pregnancy Crisis Center came to my daughter's school, it was if they were trolling for white infants), or the sick foster care system that makes money ripping apart families. In Iowa, they don't give mom and dad much support to get on their feet and get their kids back, and why should they?

Cultures are still being destroyed on a perfectly legal market of human flesh. It's a no-win situation.
