You don’t. If you adopt a child in the system (orphaned, foster with no suitable family etc), it’s free (paid for by the government agency)
If you adopt a child from another country and inport them, or you adopt directly from a women having a baby (who is giving the child up) or a surrogate, you pay the legal fees, expenses, travel, etc.
People tend not to want to adopt children who need homes because they want an infant, and think a foster child will have behaviour, medical or trauma problems.
