What’s weird is that people looking to adopt need to pass all kinds of bars before they’re allowed. It’s like we all recognize that not everyone is qualified to raise children but we stop short of preventing unqualified people from having children naturally.
Mostly because Very Bad Things happen when you let the government decide who does and doesn’t have the right to procreate. Like, the US sterilization programs in the early 1900s directly inspired Hitler. History has shown us where that path goes.
Probably because eugenics is somewhat looked down upon in modern society.
I see the point you’re making here, but, please don’t. We have much more pressing societal issues we need to solve before we’re able to properly address “should stupid people be allowed to breed?” not least of which involves who exactly is responsible for approving and issuing boning licenses.

I think the point is that adopting should be much easier. I’m not sure I agree but if that’s the premise I can’t really disagree.
