Oh and for those agencies and people making money on a child’s misery, that’s imho hyenism. No one should be making money of helping orphaned or abused child get a second chance.

There would be nothing better then a celebrity starting a adopting charity for people like us. She can’t adopt 10 children but ten of us could. So maybe one day someone will read these posts and will make things happen

Nikka, I couldn’t agree more! my husband and i have just started looking into adoption (we too want to adopt 3) and the costs are insane! there agencies should be about finding kids good homes…why are $30,000 in fees necessary? i’m going to delay grad school so we can save up, but like you, i don’t see how we can afford to adopt more than 1.

Oh Nikka! Good luck with that! And very good to point that out, that people can also help donating to finance people that are very well capable of raising a child but have to save many, many years for that.

On the other hand, does anyone know more on the background of the English law of not taking pics of kids? I think it is an amazing law, but for as far as I remember it’s quite a new law.
How did this came about exactly?

I hope that there will one day be a charity helping not-too-rich people with adoption fees. We are saving money for adopting a baby from China or Russia, but it’s so expensive !!! Celebs cannot adopt them all, but by setting up a charity they could help others to adopt those they can’t. I would like to adopt 3, but with the costs and everything we’ll be happy for one. there are so many children out there without parents and so many parents without children and these need to find each other regardless the cost. It drives me nuts that there are agencies and people making money on providing needy children with a better life
