Hello,
I just wanted to say I totally understand your frustration - and for me the issue is - why does it cost more to adopt according to skin colour? How can we justify this?
I've read Russian adoption is now in the 45K range...while adoption from the Caribbean or Africa remains at around $20-25K. $20,000 difference - this is the part that makes me furious. Asian adoption seems to fall somewhere in the middle.
But, of course, this is the case with domestic adoption as well.
Otherwise - for our adoptions a large part of the expense was travel....
