I didn’t mean to imply that going to China (or Russia) to adopt a child wasn’t a good thing. But it does add to the cost and anyone seeking to adopt will need to consider it.

Its a tragedy that there are willing parents who would take these children but they lack the $30k to complete the process.

Conditions for orphans and the extremely poor are terrible in so many parts of the world. In most cases its due to the government and corruption preventing people from caring for themselves. This is the global community that people like Obama seek to bring to America.

The expense is difficult. Unfortunately, it’s not just the foreign government, but ours too. There’s a lot of red tape (and more every year) here in the US. Half the expense goes to the US portion of adoption.

Travel is one significant expense of the whole process, but it is, in my opinion, a necessary component.

Have a good day!

"The male over female is a reaction by desperate parents to the govt atrocities. The asian cultures certainly value males more than females but its a deeper issue. Parents depend on their kids for support when they get old. Girls cannot support their parents."
 
 
Is that right? My wife bought a home for her parents and paid for her sister's college education.
