[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our adoption agencies (2), our adoption facilitator, several attorneys and co-op nursery school.[/quote] How were those things a complete waste of money?[/quote] None of them lead to a child... we did end up adopting but gave a lot of money upfront to two agencies, a facilitator and three attorneys. (ending up getting a private adoption several years later and had to fire yet another attorney and ended up with a good one). We wasted about $40,000-50,000 on trying to adopt. Our actual adoption was reasonable if you take all that out. The co-op - my child got nothing out of the program. The other parents ignored the kids who weren't theirs. He was always in a dirty diaper on pick up, they ignored his food allergies (sent our own food but touched him after touching the allergic food), and it was basically a holding cell (and when I co-oped I spent three hours cleaning and doing diapers as the teacher said she would not do them nor had the other parents help). We only stayed for a year.[/quote]
