Answer 6

Are you including emotional and physical pain or just dollar amts.

A good friend had her hips broken during an emergency delivery of her twins last year and is still in therapy. Lost count on how much its costing her with the medical bills but with not being able to work for a year that alone cost her over $100,000.  If you include the toll it takes on nmoms or an adoptee, than giving birth and placing a child is far more expensive regardless of complications and/or not costing anything to get pregnant in the first place (opposed to an Ap shilling out a few bucks for someone elses child).  

Answer 7

It costs nothing to get pregnant (not counting any assistance methods that may be required) but it can cost $20,000-$40,000 or more for domestic or international adoptions.  After that the costs are pretty much the same.
