Just curious, whys other countries charge any fees to adopt. In the long run you save them years of paying out money, to raise the kid. If they had to keep the child in a orphange or foster home 16 to 17 yrs of their lives the gov' would pay out a ton of money. So I just don't understand why they don't waive all the adoption fees. In the long run they've saved money and the kid wins. They wanna save $$$ and make a big profit on top of it. Sometimes it can cost btw 12k to 30 to adopt. Unless you go through Social Service and get an american kid which is virtually free. Why go to another country when you can help your own nation and save money too. More money in your pocket means more money you can spend on the kid. Cloths, toys, ect!
