Conclusion: less children available but many people are ready to adopt.
Premise: 2 million people are looking out for children and there were only 50,000 adoptions - This could be due there is a lack of children left to be adopted as the author says or there could be some other reasons. We are required to prove that there are no other options but fewer children available.
There are far fewer children available for adoption than there are people who want to adopt. Two million couples are currently waiting to adopt, but in 1982, the last year for which figures exist, there were only some 50,000 adoptions.

(D) People who seek to adopt children often go through a long process of interviews and investigation by adoption agencies. -
This says that there is another reason for less adoption, which means there are children but the policies makes it difficult - hence weakens(E) People who seek to adopt children generally make very good parents. -
