My husband and I are in the middle of adopting from Russia. We are asked what is are parenting philosophy. For those of you who have been through the process what did you write down.

Can sumone explain to me how adoption agencies find parents that are caring, lovable, and responsible enough to care for a child? How do they prove that? Do the parents have to take some test or examination before adopting, especially gay couples?

I was talking with my Mom and she made the point that it is illegal to for a organ donor to profit from donating their organ but doctors are allowed to make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
She then said that adoption is basically the same way as an organ donation. She said that is the organ donor or natural mother isn’t allowed to profit from the procedure than the doctors, adoption agency, and attorneys shouldn’t be allowed to profit either.
What do you think? With adoption and organ donors nobody should profit because without a donor or natural mother their would be no product. Sorry I am trying to put it in language that will not offend anybody.
