How to Afford an Adoption
« on: January 27, 2014, 09:26:11 am »
My husband and I have started the adoption process, but it's so expensive!  Have any of you ever adopted or are you adopted?  I would love to hear about your experience, especially how you afforded it!  Most people don't know the average cost of adoption in the US is over $30,000!  International is more because of the travel!

Actually overseas adoptions are cheaper.  That's why so many opt for that route.
