I don't think Keyes applied any logic or thought things through any farther than "can I say something nasty about gay people?" -- 'cause it's clear that he's basically voiced a general anti-adoption stance and he probably didn't mean to. Someone said he should be checked for signs of early dementia.
The chance of an accidental sibling-coupling as the result of adoption is quite real ... and quite unlikely. If any of us decide it's worth the time and effort to grab some census data we could look at the number of people within each age range narrow enough to seem reasonable for such a meeting, and the number of adoptions, and calculate the odds of someone accidentally meeting their unknown sibling. And the number would still be high because not all adoptees are unaware of who their blood-siblings are.
There's an Andy M. Stewart song about it. It chills my heart. But well, who the hell set up the system? Keyes has no logic. He runs on false rhetoric, and hopefully will drop.
