I know it sounds awful, but, kstar said, maybe parenting should be viewed as a priviledge, not a right. If only there were a way to have parental screening for every couple interested in having children -- not just those who are adopting!
This is fine in theory, but not in practice. Variations on this have been put into practice historically, and they've always ended up with forcing or tricking minority women into becoming sterilized. While "permission to have kids" actually does seem like a good idea to me, what it translates to in the real world is just eugenics.
