Always put the responsibility back on the person asking by saying, "Why do you ask?" It gives someone seriously interested in adoption the chance to say so and allows you to respond with "I can give you my agency's phone number and they can answer your questions." And if it's a fool asking, they usually will stop the questions.

But ask me on a bad day about the cost...and I like to respond "I'll tell you what the legal fees were when you tell me your income last year?"

It's always best to be prepared with answers ahead of time.

Take care,
Rhonda
