Question by Mulberry3: Should child adoption be genuinely free of charge in the USA?
Laws in the United States forbid the sale of children. Baby selling for instance is a very serious offense. Yet it is not possible in the vast majority of cases to adopt a child in the United States without spending thousands of dollars on a variety of fees and costs, even when children are adopted through public (state) agencies. Many thousands of children in the United States who are available for adoption remain unadopted. Should adoption in the USA be genuinely free of charge?

Would adopting a child be a good choice for you? Would you want to adopt an infant or an older child? What about a child from another country? A child of another race? Would you be willing to adopt a child with medical problems? Could you agree to involvement and…

In April 1975, just before the fall of Saigon, the U.S. government launched “Operation Babylift,” a highly publicized plan to evacuate nearly three thousand displaced Vietnamese children and place them with adoptive families overseas. Chaotic from start to finish, the mission gripped the world—with a traumatic plane crash, international media snapping pictures of bewildered children traveling to their new homes, and families clamoring to adopt the waifs.
Often presented as a great humanitarian effort, Operation Babylift provided an opportunity for national catharsis following the trauma of the American experience in Vietnam. Now, thirty-five years after the war ended,
