I don't see how what you said about internationally adopting babies was "pissy." Isn't it true?

Pretty much.
I have friends who have been trying to adopt a newborn dometically (which involves being chosen by a pregnant birth mother via an agency). They've been signed on with an agency since they got married 4 years ago and have not come close to being chosen by a birth mom. There are like 100 couples signed with this agency (or more) and about 20 or 30 birth moms at any given time-- and all of those women won't go through with it, so there are less than that.
You could be signed on with an agency for YEARS and never even be considered by a birth mom, much less be selected as parents.
