I'm not sure what their historical views on adoption are, but in the two Amish communities we have lived in Adoption was becomming increasingly accepted. Many couples who could not have children naturally were becoming foster parents with the hope of being able to adopt children. I beleive historically, they have been hesitant to become foster parents due to requirements such as the requirement to obtain a photo ID. At least that had been an issue in one Amish community in Illinois where we resided.

Sure! Why wouldn't they be?

Amish kids who need adoption usually are adopted by aunt and uncle, in a private adoption.

The Amish consider a large family to be a blessing from God. Sometimes women facing an unwanted pregnancy seek out an Amish family to adopt their babies. The Amish are hard workers, and careful with their money, so it's rarely a struggle for Amish families to accept another mouth to feed; most are highly successful in self-employment. You could easily view the Amish as exceptional parents.
