I would love it if you would expound on your experience with adoption. I have been thinking about the possibility for awhile, but really have no idea where to start.
We recently watched Rosie’s documentary about the cruise for gay families, and I was stunned when they said the average cost for an adoption was 20 thousand dollars. It seems impossible.
Brian,
I will put it on my list of ideas. The cost you mentioned does sound outrageous. That doesn’t surprise me for some kind of adoptions: private, international, etc. My information is going to be 23 years old… not sure how much is applicable today. The cost with the agency I used, was around $5,000. That seemed like a lot at that time, but I managed somehow. This was for a domestic (American) adoption. Depending on how particular you are, I think domestic adoptions can still be arranged for $5,000- $10,000.
