[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also spent years pursuing adoption, primarily international, and as we'd finish home studies the countries would "close" to foreign adoptions. We also pursued foster2adopt, were certified in DC, but with the goals of reunification or kinship adoption, we realized foster parenting younger children was our only option with DC, because we didn't feel equipped to handle the complex needs of teens beyond temporary respite care. On a whim, we looked into DE (even though I had NO desire to be pregnant) and within a year I birthed a beautiful son! Total cost was $25k, far less than we would have spent on our eventual foreign adoptions. [/quote] On the other hand, we did an international adoption and ours cost less than your DE arrangement. So variable. [/quote]
