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

2.25K 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?

You arent buying a child. You’re paying all of the costs that are associated with adopting the child.

Say I give you the materials to build a house for free. The house still isn’t free because you have to pay someone to build it.
