Adopting

Do you know what it takes to adopt a kid?

The cost could stop someone, if you don't have a steady job, if you don't have a steady bank account, and you can't have a criminal record. Basically your life has to be like pretty much in order and you have to be rich.

What do you think about this?

What would you do to change this?

I think it's messed up that a family that beats their kids can have kids, but a family that doesn't have enough money or a steady job, or there is something wrong with the mom and she can't have kids; that doesn't mean that they can't raise a kid.

Range of Adoption Costs

Foster Care Adoptions	$0 - $2,500
Licensed Private Agency Adoptions	$5,000 - $40,000+
Independent Adoptions	$8,000 - $40,000+
Facilitated/Unlicensed Adoptions	$5,000 - $40,000+
Intercountry Adoptions	$7,000 - $30,000

i think people that beat their kids and kill shouldnt be able to have any. i thnk that if somethin is wrong wit the mo m so what as long as she raises the kid right she should be able to have it.

That's just sad. So many people can't have kids that actually WANT them and some just don't have money to adopt. It's very irritating.
