That's fair man, I get it. I run in a lot of circles with folks who have adopted and it does indeed cost more than it should. The system needs to be reformed. Good 'ole Uncle Sam robbing good people of their cash.I agree.
Fun fact. My sister in law adopted her nephew’s baby. Guess how much it cost her to adopt her grand nephew ? About 20k. And that wasn’t paying the birth parents anything. And it doesn’t include the medical bills. How’s that for math ? Something’s definitely fucked up with that.
And really I agree with you but there’s a lot of other factors involved.
Having said that, I know several who have gotten it done for a little over $10k, still not cheap, but when one considers the financial weight of properly caring for a child, that sum should be required and or able to be achieved by one seeking to care for a child. In other words, if you can't come up with $10k I could understand how an agency might have reservations. How is it that 65% of Americans carry automobile loans (and or bought a car) but couldn't come up with $10k for a child?
Having said that, you're correct, there are a lot of factors with this, however the termination of a human life created in the image of God is NEVER an option and shouldn't be.
