I think this is making a lot of assumptions both about how blood family is treated, and about how chosen family is treated.

I’m wondering how this fits into the overall argument. If there are positive outcomes for adoption, doesn’t that prove adoption is capable of being a better family formation than biological family, regardless of which policies produce the positive outcomes?

"Better" is a complicated question Adoptive families unambiguously have better stats like going to college or getting a good job when you do an apples to apples comparison (to families from the same community they were adopted out of)

I think 'went through a complicated process to get children' is probably the best gatekeeping of all, but, yeah, the fact there are minimum requirements seems relevant too. As is the fact that the worst sorts of adoption allow this gatekeeping to be skipped.

Adoption agencies allow prospective parents to just pay money to have someone else do 90% of the work in the process, and international adoption allows skipping basically all the parental requirements.
