I have said this to family and friends of mine before. It comes up everytime we hear about a famous/wealthy family adopt. Most people who adopt do not have the funds to hire EVERY adoption attorney or apply to EVERY adoption agency around. Most simply stick with one maybe 2 and work on their adoptions from there. But the extremely wealthy people that we hear about have the money to sign with many agencies and hire many attorneys. Does that make it wrong or unethical, of course not. It makes them fortunate if you ask me. If I had endless funds, I would have done the same thing. Just like if I had millions, I would own 10 cars instead of 1 and houses all around the world and not just the one we live in. I know you cannot compare adoption with cars and houses, BUT a lot of it does have to do with money. It's a shame to say but it does. I have to think that everyone who adopts goes through the same channels as the rest of us. BUT, having a lot of money can make it much easier - just like a lot of things in life.
