I'm not so sure how easy it is to adopt these days or how many children there are who need parents. I know when my first husband and I looked at adopting we were up against a lot of walls. Most of the children requiring parnts seemed to be older children with physical or health or emotional problems who needed something specific from the family they would go to, and we didn't fit the bill. Or they were of a specific racial mix and we were too white. There was an assumption too that because we were white all our friends would also be white and we would have no understanding of someone with caribbean grandparents! Well, OK I don't have caribbean grandparents but some of my friends do.

Then there was the "must have had previous experience of bringing up a child"

Maybe it's easier these days but people still seem to be illegally buying babies from Romania.

I think the womb transplant seems like a good idea. If the woman retains her own ovaries then she will actually give birth to her own baby with the same genetic thingummy.

I was listening to a prog on the radio a few weeks ago about adopted children tracing their birth parents, for a variety of reasons. One of them being inherited ailments.
