Yes. Adoption is in this strange place of being something that everyone understands the pitfalls of government regulation (custody of a human) but by necessity it must be regulated. Services have filled the space by charging for everything and they have a captive market that has no other choice. The problem is exasperated by the presence of potential adopters who have biases related to age or race of children.
I sort of understand why, but I still think it’s a bit counterproductive.
