but many that are critical of the explosion of white wealthy westerners adopting children from poverty stricken countries will cite this very issue. even orphans often have extended family in country. but the countries can make a quicker buck charging outrageous adoption fees, while little of that money goes to address the underlying problems.

i have friends who have adopted internationally, and even some of them have been conflicted about it.
