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

2.31K 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?

I’m adopted (California) and would always joke with my parents that my siblings were free but I cost about $100 to “buy” because they wanted me haha. It’s mainly just some legal fee stuff but as far as I know it was pretty cheap 🙂
