Can they not just adopt one of the myriad of children already available anywhere in the world?

If they are allowed to. Many families wouldn't be allowed to. Rules put in place to "protect the children" sometimes haven't kept up with the times. Me and my wife were told we couldn't adopt because we both work full time and if one of us quite working we wouldn't be able to because we wouldn't make enough money.

Why would you curse someone to be a wage slave?
