Plus they gave him $20,000 - that's not even enough for a perfectly legal adoption.

Actually, domestic adoption ranges from $5,000 to $30,000 +
The average, I would guess, is actually around $20,000.
Consider the fact that it cost less than $5000 to actually legally do a non-contested adoption - the additional fee's come from agencies/attorneys who bill for expenses like counseling and other administrative fees.
Many of the members of our forums who did self networking and used an attorney only for the legal aspect of the adoption, will tell you their fees were actually MUCH lower than $20,000.
