If I ever want to have a child...
I will adopt. It's simple as that. Doesn't matter where they're from because I'll love them all the same.

Man. I wish adoption was simple. It's really not. Of course may be different in the US.
In Canada, you have two options - public or private. Public adoptions are kids who have been forcibly taken from their families. Frequently the children are survivors of abuse and very likely to have fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and if they're older a near guarantee of abuse and neglect. These kids need love more than anyone, but that's a hell of a first-time parenting decision.
There's also a major issue of babies being taken en masse from native homes, and being adopted out to white couples. So even if those kids need homes, there's a kind of a theft of a generation there.
Private adoption costs 10,000 at the bare minimum.
Soo... my wife and I are looking at this situation going wtf we just want a baby.

Of course adoption isn't simple. I was just saying that if I theoretically wanted a child, the only option I would choose would be adoption. If adoption doesn't work out, then I'm not going to have a child.
I may also just try to adopt from my country of birth, because then I could probably find a more comprehensive background on the child that way. Also considering how said country is, there's going to be less likely of a chance for the child to have the issues you listed.

@TyphoidJerry: I understand that. I didn't think you were being condescending. 😊
