There are many positive and wonderful stories where adoption was comparatively easy, and some where it seems needlessly hard. But the sad fact is that the numbers are so high and so many kids go unadopted because there are so few parents willing to take them.

I'm not sure if it is more widely accepted in other cultures, but I really think given our relative wealth as a society, we should be having higher adoption rates.

Is the issue in Canada, that I've heard some people I know who considered adopting, that adoption in Canada is open? Meaning the relationship is known by all and the adopting parents are afraid of conflicts down the road? Looking for real parents, real parents demanding the child back etc...
