There are also other possible reasons that people adopt internationally, and there can be multiple reasons at play at the same time, though it can be difficult to determine how things are. For instance, Chief Justice Roberts adopted internationally from Ireland (and according to multiple articles, South America might also have been involved). And he and his wife were childless. Other reasons including (as I mentioned and which you for some reason did not include as possible reasons.......) human trafficking, sex trafficking, etc. etc. etc. Consider for instance this image: https://i.maga.host/sqn0UI9.png .

Reg. "saving a child from growing up in a shithole"... That sounds incredibly weird, for would it not be strictly much, much better if that "shithole" changed itself and improved? And while culture is very much a part of why things are as they are, there can also be other aspects that play important factors. Then you could take one of the "better" children from that "shithole", but then you are basically robbing that "shithole" of their best and brightest, which they might very well need in order to improve and change.........

Women think with feeling not logic. I wouldnt have adopted from another country, but the 'saving from shithole' ive heard many times

I must admit that you have a point that if it is Amy Coney Barrett between her and her husband that made the final decision or similar, then it may well in practice have been limited to those two common reasons you list.

Though "saving a child from growing up in a shithole" is still incredibly weird as far as I can see, even though such a claimed reason might regrettably be very common among certain groups of adopters.

Its a big thing within adopters. As long as she rules by the constitution it doesnt rly matter that where her kids are from. But she has said she will listen to the pope which is a bigger red flag than her kids, considering hes a commie pedo

Fully true. It can be an indication of things - looking into backgrounds and all that. But yeah.

But she has said she will listen to the pope which is a bigger red flag than her kids, considering hes a commie pedo

Do you have a source on that? I skimmed (admittedly very briefly) online, and I couldn't find her directly saying that, instead stuff like her justifying her view on capital punishment with writings by a former pope, and that if a judge could not with good conscience sentence someone with capital punishment despite the law calling for it, that judge should "disqualify" himself.

You are fully right that the current pope is completely off, definitely a communist, and extremely likely as far as I know a pedophile, see for instance:

And on some other computer I had more source material on him.
