I wasn't the one who hijacked it, and I think it's an interesting point of discussion. What's wrong with talking about it?

Here is a fairly valid source stating that the average cost for a domestic adoption is $10-15,000:

Of course, international adoptions cost may be slightly higher. And, as this is an average, your mileage may vary.


ETA: Even if adoptions are more expensive, you have to factor in the addition costs of pregnancy into the equation. For example, giving birth -- a one-day hospital stay might be $2500 or far more if you have a c-section. This is not something you would pay for with an adoption.
