There's a hugely long waiting list for adoptions in the US. Seriously. Tens of thousands. Most are adopting internationally because they would be unable to get a healthy non-special needs non-foster placed with them. It is of course easier for families willing to take on children with some... encumbrances.
Now, the problem raised by Hausfrauatu are legitimate, many children carried to term with the intent of giving them for adoption fail to do so when they get a look at the infant.
And the problem that you're raising here is legitimate too, that the world really doesn't need more unwanted children. The counter-point however, is equally true "So it's better to kill them than create the possibility of them being abused?"
