Well yeah, this law is written to address unregulated adoptions not dotting their I’s and crossing their T’s. Most of those adoptions are done through well-meaning church groups, because that’s where trailer trash usually turns. To say that they sometimes have ugly ends is… well that’s all I’m going to say, but this law is probably intended to make sûre sweet church secretaries get somebody to do due diligence, not address child trafficking.
That's a good point, and I appreciate the perspective. My gut take on those laws as a blue-state conservative is more cynical and culture warry.
As an aside, my grandmother was a nurse in a delivery ward among other things. Local doctors sometimes played a role in adoptions then, and from her stories they could be pretty whim driven too, as well meaning as they were.
