I often get asked the question, "Why don't you guys just adopt?" Hmmmm....adopting a child isn't like adopting a pet from a shelter. I can't walk up to a cage and pick what I want and offer a meager adoption fee. This is why I can't just adopt:
DOMESTIC ADOPTIONS PRICE TAG: (Average)
~Legal & Agency Fees: $16,000
~Medical Costs: $10,000
~Travel: $2,000
~Other: $2,000
GRAND TOTAL: $30,000 *Source: National Council for Adoption
So this is why I can't just adopt!!! It would be great that if the next time someone offered this great tidbit of advice, they would also hand over the $30,000 so that I could just adopt!!!
