    as we enter into our second adoption, and this time domestic I think all the critics of international adoption need to look at our own domestic programs. Doing our research we have found that the fees for agencies, attorneys, and birth/natural/first parents run upwards to $25-30k - not much different than IA. Certainly, there is far more transparency to the US domestic adoption policies. But to claim that it doesn't cost equal amounts to adopt in the US (unless you choose to adopt from foster programs) is simply turning a blind eye. Adoption cost money - many people are involved - the difficulty lies in determining who might be makin a profit from it.
