Exactly why does it cost money to adopt a child? I understand the background checks, and making sure the parents are the right ones for the child, but why is it so expensive? If you adopted a baby, you'd be paying, not only the money to adopt, but also the money to take care of that baby for 18 years. Or when you adopt, does the state or government send you a check to aid in the care of that child on a monthly basis? Kind of like with foster care? Also, what are the odds of a couple of 24 year olds being able to adopt a child? Still young, educated, recent college grad, and able to support both? I saw the question about adopting, and it made me curious. I've often thought about adopting children when my guy and I are ready for kiddos, as I have a lot of fear and paranoia about the birthing process. lol Which i'm sure i'll get over one day, but anyway, for future references sake...
