      True. Lots of pronatalists tend towards eugenics, so doubt they’re huge fans of adoptions.

      OTOH, even nurture-over-nature pronatalists would be problematic. “I’m better than everyone else so I should have an outsize impact on the next generation by adopting as many children as possible” is only slightly better than the eugenic variant.

        I think you are mistaken. People who want children often want their own children; people who want a lot of children want children theirs or others
