Excellent news. Now, if only we can get humans to apply the principle of "adopt, don't shop" to other humans...

“Adopt, don’t shop” would still be kinda applicable in parts of the world where human trafficking and outright slavery remain common

The adoption market has a shortage of babies.

Plenty of teenagers with mental health issues though.
