The way my parents explained it to me(adopted kid here, along with a brother who is adopted) is that it’s really just a way to support the organization that is helping with the adoption process, and especially with overseas adoptions there’s a huge amount of work that has to go into the process that the average person probably wouldn’t be able to figure out.
Granted I was adopted in the late 80’s and my brother in the early 90’s so things may have changed a lot since then.
