Do you think more people would be willing to adopt a child if it didn't cost so much?

I think it should be much easier to adopt. I mean I understand they don't want just anyone adopting kids, and they should still have a process, but I think anyone willing to adopt means they want the kid which is more than you can say about some parents. Adoption also needs to become a much more appealing alternative to abortion as well. I for one would not see the difference in my children if one was adopted and another wasn't. I would very much like to adopt some day if its a possibility.

I don't know the cost associated with adoption within one's own country, but am sure the high fees of international adoption are an obstacle for many would-be parents. I realize there must be a lot involved in adopting from another country (travel, travel docs, agency fees, lawyers fees), but it is sad that money could stand in the way of adoption.

The answer is Yes. We adopted from overseas and it costed over $35,000 then, 6 years ago. What happens now the foreign countries toughen up the adoption process by putting more barriers. For example you have to make 2 trips to the country instead of one, and stay longer too. The foreign countries' governments want to squeeze as much money from you as they can. But it works as a backfire to them - our agency's business drastically downsized: people can simply not afford.

more than likely

yes i think so and most at times only those who do not want to use the services of an agency will prefer a cheap adoption plan.
