I always hear that it is very hard to adopt a baby and that you need to meet all sorts of requirements. Is it the government setting these requirements? Is it individual agencies? Are the agencies private entities? Are there a bunch of babies sitting around in orphanages waiting for people to meet requirements?

Yes, governments are setting the requirements, adoption agencies add their own requirements along with fees, lawyers add even more to the cost, the whole ordeal ends up expensive and time consuming. Depending on the country and where you’re adopting from agencies may be private or government run, and like all human things there are corrupt agencies. They have in the past even been caught selling babies to prospective couple and even worse things. Most of the children waiting to be adopted are not babies though, and they are adopted a lot less frequently.
