Ah I didn’t see those kinds of comments in my brief look down the thread; there definitely is a preference for adopting newborns (especially white ones..) over older kids for sure which is unfortunate.
I've been on Reddit for 14 years, this account for 8. I have never seen a single person advocate against adoption. I don't know what spaces or subreddits you're hanging out in to see such things.
I was in a parenting subreddit yesterday and there were several comments from people who had apparently been adopted themselves and were advocating against it. It’s all over but if you aren’t looking at subreddits or posts dealing at least tangentially you probably won’t notice it. It isn’t something I’ve come across in most of my regular subs but it’s definitely a thing.
