I can think of many instances with our adoption. We did a private adoption
- FAX= $15 each
- PHONE CONSULT= $160hr (15min. minimum per call)
- TRAVEL TIME TO OUR HOME= $300hr
- APPLICATION 1 PAGE (non-refundable)= $500
- HOME VISIT= $300hr
- CLASSES = $1,500 ea
- BP counceling= $800ea.
-COPY OF H.S. TO LAWER/COURT= $25EA
- ATTORNEY= $3,000
- 2ND SAFETY INSPECTION= $200 ( before the first inspection I asked if there was anything special to do with the pool, they said they would check it out and then they inspected and said it needed a separate gate than the yard, would have been go to know earler)
-MEDICAL BILLS=$37,000 (I'm cool with this one)
Just seems they make up their charges and because we did a private adoption they had to itemize each cost. If you ask where the money goes they act like " you can't afford it? If you really wanted a baby, you'll just pay it?
Are these fees outragous and inflated? Where does the money go? Are adoptiove parents at their mercy?
