eli5: When you adopt a child, why do you have to pay so much money?

2.30K viewsEconomicsOther

This was a question I had back when I was in elementary school. I had asked my mom but she had no clue. In my little brain I thought it was wrong to buy children, but now I’m wondering if that’s not actually the case. What is that money being spent on?

It depends if you use an agency. Agencies spend time making contact with private, state and city foster aid programs to get access to the most desirable children up for adoption(under 18 months healthy, mother without drug history)

You can adopt cheaply from local foster programs but your choices will be limited and probably have issues.
