One of my friends tried to adopt, it was a nightmare. It is one thing to have proper rules in place so nobody is taken advantage of, but it is totally another thing to have so much bureaucracy that the only purpose it serves is to employ the bureaucrats involved. I am talking about the latter case here. Another example - filing taxes. Why should it be so confusing? Who does it serve other than the middlemen who "help" you file taxes?
