Adopting a kid is like adopting an animal. you don't know what kind of shit they've been through and they could be mentally damaged.

If the world was to go from how it is now, to perfect, every adult would adopt a child and only have one of their own kids. The world is overpopulated and there's so many children that need a family and plenty of adults with the means to do it.

That sounds very nice, but one likes to feel obligated. I'm an adult, buy I certainly don't want to be obligated to adopt a child. I can't afford a second Siamese cat or a Sheltie dog so I'm certainly not going to take responsibility for a young human who's not own flesh and blood.
Sorry, can't pretend. I'm more an animal person than a people person.

We should feed all of the homeless children to all of the homeless cats of the world.

I said "Adults with the means"
I'm also an adult who cannot afford children, but plenty of people can.Comment Hidden ( show )-

... but even if I had means I might not necessarily have the inclination to raise a child that isn't mine. People cannot be forced to do something against their will even if it's a so called nice or ideal thing.
If I had the means I'd want more animals and children of my own who carried my own DNA, and that of my partner. I feel what I feel, and no one can force me to feel otherwise.

Controversial opinion time...
I personally think that couples who can't conceive naturally but want children (including LGBT couples, and I'm gay myself) should be encouraged to adopt rather than seek IVF or surrogacy/sperm donorship.
Not saying that should be illegal, they have the right to try having their own kids if they want. I just think adopting is better than bringing yet more kids into this overpopulated world, while leaving kids who are already born without families.
I'd also support a (depending on the country and it's current degree of over-population) a 1-2 child cap on the number of kids a couple can have naturally (not including adopted children). China's execution of the one child policy had it's issues and pitfalls but it was necessary, and more countries need to follow their example.

Just as @Emberlaci said, the world is populated. So it'd be better if more people adopted kids.
