Author Jason Locy wrote an opinion article for CNN claiming that advocates who don't support gay adoption -- he mentions Southern Baptist Christians in particular -- should be adopting children themselves to make up for their stance.
Locy notes that even some churches and religious organizations, such as Focus on the Family and Christianity Today, have made similar statements regarding Christian adoption, and the results were noticeable in orphan statistics.
[W]e might compare the number of American orphans to the purported 16 million Southern Baptists who attend more than 42,000 churches nationwide. Quick math reveals that there are roughly 138 Southern Baptists for every child in the American foster care system waiting to be adopted. To say it another way, this single denomination has an enormous opportunity to eradicate the orphan crisis in America.

If Christians adopted Muslim kids that would be a good thing because Muslims aren't allowed to adopt kids.
With the millions of displaced children on the planet these days adoptions would help reduce the number of kids who are being sold as sex slaves, too.
They put down unwed mothers, they don't think gays should adopt, they can't support abortion but, they don't seem to want to adopt any of these children themselves, either.
You can't have it both ways!
IMHO, if you're actively campaigning against abortion, gay adoption, or accusing an unwed mother of being unfit, then they should be willing to adopt and raise each and every one of those children.
None of them seem to have a solution for what should happen to these children but, they're sure ready to deny gays the right to adopt them and give them a home. They're ready to deny someone who's pregnant with a sick fetus, or has been molested the option of abortion, and finally they want to deny gays the right to adopt but, I can't find a one of them that are working on these campaigns that is willing to adopt any of the children involved in these issues.
