That's right about the foster system. Maybe you could find a sibling group?
That was the exact look on my face when I heard $50,000. He is a sweet little boy who had lived in an orphanage in Russia. He was brought to the US for heart surgery. When the couple heard about him, they knew that they were meant to be his parents. They decided to adopt him knowing nothing about the adoption process. It was pretty complicated and expensive. It was probably different from the average international adoption since he was in the U.S. already. It also might have included the price of his surgery.
