    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.
