We adopted domestically, but hope my answers help someone.
My first response was always, "Why do you ask?" If they're considering adoption, I might go into more detail.
I might say:
1. our agency works on a sliding scale based on your income
2. Did you know there's a $10K tax credit?
3. Less than / about the same as some people pay to give birth to their child in a hospital
4. It's not as expensive as some people think
5. Less than a new car.... (which, you know, new cars run between $12K and probably over $100K, so can't everyone use this line?)
6. Some times, we just total it all up and say, "less than $12K" or pick a number and say less than.
