I agree with Natalie - too many families, IMO, go for adoption for the wrong reasons - then they end up adopting a healthy CC baby when there are 40 families looking to adopt one - so much for the 'saving a child' theory.
Personally, the thing I have a hard time with is just understanding why someone would spend sometimes 20k and deal with the heartache of adoption (from birthmoms changing their mind to having to find someone to keep the kids while away etc) when they don't have to. I'm really excited to adopt and I seriously don't care about getting pg or having a bio child, but those are things I would really have done without, and given the choice I'd rather spend my money on things for my child than in having him/her.
