with a reference to abortion
Adoption is the voluntary acceptance by a family, typically a mother and father, of a child born to other parents.
In 1990, the [[U.S. Department of State]] issued almost 7,100 visas for foreign orphans adopted by Americans.<ref>National Catholic Register B1 (Mar. 4-10, 2007) </ref> By 2006, this number had increased to 20,679 visas for such orphans.
In 2002, the number of babies born and adopted in the United States was 22,291.<ref>Data from the National Council for Adoption</ref>
The legalization and promotion of [[abortion]] in certain states did reduce adoption there.<ref>http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/3402502.html</ref>
