CMV:Creating new children in a world where there are kids who need to be adopted is selfish and morally wrong.

The human race, like any other species, has evolved because of our desire to procreate. At this point in our species' development we are able to recognize that this urge is a primal one and can be resisted. Humanity has spread all around the world and is plentiful to the point of having children that are unwanted by their original parents. These kids need parental figures in their life and there are people who desire to have children. Shouldn't those who desire to have children help those who are without parents? To create more children just out of the desire to spread your own genes is selfish in my opinion. Also we have developed ways to have sex without procreation, so that primal desire can be sated without creating more children. I don't think this view should be legally enforced, but I do think that it should be more widespread. It seems though a lot of people view the idea of having children different than I do so I'd like to see if my own logic has flaws in it. 
Edit: While on the topic of having kids how do you guys feel about the ethics of procreation if climate change is past the point of no return? Is it okay to create children that will suffer through resource wars and environmental disaster?

There are currently about 680 thousand kids in foster care in the US. There are about 74 million children in the US. That puts foster kids a little less than 1% of the total child population. That number to me sounds about as optimal as you could realistically get considering that 1% is spread across the whole of the country. 

Think of it like unemployment. 5% is considered full employment even though that is obviously not 0. There will always be some adults in transition or unable to work. There is no real way to get that 1% much lower because there will always be some children born and put up for adaption. 

There is also a strong argument for the vetting process most agencies go through. These kids have some extra need for stability beyond what is considered normal. There is a good chunk of adults that shouldn't have kids in general, much less a child that has already lead a particularly difficult life.
