Yeah you are so right,but try and tell old John Howard that. These little children just want a place to call home and have some sence of security in there life. You have to be married for two years and if you have been divorced and then remarried you have to wait 5 years. Some countries you have to be at least 25 years old and some you have to be 30. Also Australians can only Adopt from China,Lithuania,Mexico,Philippines,Hong Kong,Chile,Sri Lanka,Fiji,Colombia,South Korea,Ethiopia,Taiwan, Thailand and India. There are so many kids in America and lots of babies in Guatomala and Rusia but they dont except them here. Stupid huh,the person that made up these laws and rules must have been male. My heart goes out to the people that dont have kids and are on the waiting list. They would have one if the laws were different.
