Friends of ours can't have kids of their own and consequently just paid $30000 to adopt a Korean child. They would like to adopt more, but just can't afford to do it. I can't understand why babies are being killed in China and other places when people here (Australia) are forced to pay enormous sums to try to adopt them. Seriously fucked up, if you ask me. I realise that not all the children in China and other third world nations would find homes like that, but a patload more would than do now if it was cheaper for them to be adopted. After you've spent tens of thousands on IVF, few people can afford to shell out another 30 big ones on adoption.
