Response to the cost of adoption

I never realized just how expensive adopting was. The most you have to pay is 30,000+ for domestic adoption. Foreign expenses are a whole different ballpark. I never realized that a lot of minor stuff comes out of your very own pocket. Travel fees, hotel expenses, attorney expenses, donations, etc. I guess that I'd figured that insurance or somebody paid for most of it. If you adopt public domestic you might not have to pay anything, with the most being $2,500. Thankfully, there are systems that can lower the costs and even pay you back. It may not fully pay you back but every bit counts towards helping to raise your adopted child.
