I think we as a country have fully lost site of what ADOPTION really is! When I placed, I got nothing, but the trust and love that my daughter would be in a safe and loving home. We need to cap adoption and everything related to adoption because isn't it supposed to be about the baby. If couples have to pay all this money for children, how is that money working for the children? It goes to the agencys. attorneys. For example on our adoption, we went through DCF and paid the court 1,500 and a few other fees nothing went to an agency and nothing went to bmom, she was already getting everything for the state (sure we gave her stuff out of pocket, like lunch, dinner etc) I am hoping one day to start my own non profit in the next year in Florida for adoption because we need change, and yes it will take more than just me to make a change, but we need change. We need change fast. While working at DCF with single pregnant teens I really saw the need for change, money talks and they would work with whoever would offer the most. In the end it really needs to be about educating the pregnant moms, dads and finding the best home for the unborn or even born babies that need to be placed. Just my two cents.
