If you'll re-read my original post, I was merely stating that this 13k fee seems to be commonplace anymore. And, that there are often exceptions to the agency fees.
For all three of our adoptions....we spent under 10K; but slightly more for the last one if you consider the homestudy and travel, etc.
There are always exceptions to fees and I can vouch for that. And, one can always consider going through an attorney who networks too. From our experience in receiving a quote and knowing others who have adopted from this attorney, the fees are often around 5-8k.
Our policy was never to put out more than application monies up front for any situation (well under $300). Only pay money when the baby was relinquished and completely adoptable.
My best to you in your adoption pursuit.
Sincerely,
Linny
