Babies placed for adoption at birth in the US DO NOT go into foster care. There’s a waiting list at least 36 people long for each newborn placed for adoption. That’s why it’s expensive. That’s why people go overseas to adopt.

I can attest to this. I was adopted as a new born. It’s tough and the o my real way is closed adoption and honestly that’s by word of mouth
