Please refer an agency to me!

I just posted the thread on adoption costs. Ours is looking to be around $45,000. So many people responded with their total costs ranging from $6000-$30,000. How did you do this? We are looking for a domestic adoption for a child up to age 2 and are working with an agency. I don't see how so many peoples fees are so low. Please PM me any ideas. THANK YOU!

I don't want to make this on race, but if you are open to race or not, makes a difference on what agency will work for you, so you might want to say...

Yes, I have some names of agencies for you to research, but my list will depend on what race(s) you are open to. Although it may seem wrong on many levels, the reality is that many agencies have lower costs for the adoption of AA or biracial babies.

Let us know!
