We've decided to go ahead with the adoption process. It's very exciting and scary all at the same time.
I called and emailed a few people yesterday. I did speak with one attorney who was very nice, but blew my mind. She said we needed to budget $30,000 to adopt, and her fee is $7ooo!!! While I have heard that it did cost that much to adopt, I was hoping that it wasn't true. And we definitely want a child, but I feel like it's buying a child, not adopting a child whose birth parents are unable or unwilling to take care of him/her.
Today is another day. I am hoping to make some more contacts and see what happens. I am trying to be positive and optimistic but it is so hard. I feel so scared that I am never going to have a child. I really am trying to hold on to the idea that God has another plan for me. That he has a reason for making it not possible for me to carry my own child. Maybe there is a child destined to be mine? I hope there is. I want to be a mom more than anything.

That is on the high end of adoption costs. I would see if a few agencies have an info night you can attend. That might be helpful and informative not just in getting an idea of cost but also in understanding the proccess.
