Slog - Comments on Every Child Needs A Mother... http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/01/every_child_nee_4 Two kids died of starvation, dehydration and neglect in November—but, hey, at least they had a mother, one who was found "surrounded by 307 beer cans" in her Kent apartment with her two dead children. Meanwhile in San Francisco, police discover that two kids—aged 5 and 9—lucky enough to have a mother and a father were left at home alone with nothing but cereal to eat while their heterosexual parents gambled in Las Vegas....

When you adopt you make a active choice to have children, vice 'it just happened'.
