Although I don't think you have to be wealthy to have children.  I do think you need to have a budget that can support the needs of a child along with the willingness to sacrifice yourself.  
My parents were poor, but I think they were perfect.  My father worked hard to put the bread on the table despite a disability and my mother was a loving wife and mother, a homemaker and a childrens teacher in the church.  They taught me the value of work, money, and of giving.
Most of the children that I've met who end up in foster care do come from poor families, but not all.  There are also rich and highly intelligent people out there who beat their children.

I do agree though, that there is a surplus of children out there without homes, and feel that it is preferable to adopt rather than add to it, unless the parents really want that.
