To whom? For the adoptive parents, sure, it would guarantee that they got a healthy baby. For the healthy baby, yup, it'd increase their chance for adoption. For the unhealthy baby, well, it'd just plain suck for them now, wouldn't it...
There are lots of things that can be tested for. But there are lots of things that can't be tested for, and only show up later. Lots of problems are not genetic or even organic, and therefore aren't easily tested for.
