Our experience is much different, though our son was placed with us at birth. To him, we are 'real' mommy and daddy, and he also has bema and beda.

So, no, I do not ever feel I'm paying for the expenses to rais someone else's kid for them. I'm doing what any parent does, which is to raise a child, and doing so concious of the fact that another mom has entrusted me to do this well.
