By 2020, Klobuchar will be a 3 term US Senator from MN- a battleground state in the Midwest. She has won her first 2 US Senate Races 2006/2012 and will win her 3rd US Senate Race 2018 by a landslide margin. Prior to becoming US Senator, she was the District Attorney of Hennepin County and a legal advisor to former VP Walter Mondale. Klobuchar can defeat Trump in WI,MI,and PA- States that went for Obama in 2008 and 2012 by a high single digit to low double digit margin and went for Trump by a less than 1 percent margin.

She speaks well and gives a good impression in interviews but I don't think she has enough of a spine to be an effective member of a presidential ticket.

The adoption industry has way too much power as it is.
