I believe (and I'm not an adoptive parent so I could be wrong) that the majority of the cost for a foreign adoption goes to the government of the foreign country for things like records and documents, passports/visas, etc. A lot goes in to adopting a child from another country, taking them out of that country, and making them a legal citzen of this country.
Not that I'm saying its fair. Its terrible that there are so many unwanted children around the world and only a small percentage of them will ever find forever homes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't China just close its doors to Americans for adoption? I thought I heard something about that last year.
Very sad.
