    Why spend 30,000 dollars to create a new kid when there's a million already made for half that price?

    Most people who get artificial insemination are no strangers to getting laid...LOL...they just can't conceive for whatever reason.

    LillithMorrigan, the last time I checked, the average cost of an adoption (in IL) was around $20-40,000. Even an overseas adoption would run about $20,000.

    And, honestly, the reason a lot of people are not adopting more is because it is cheaper to conceive and have a baby than it is to go through adoption. Whereas medical insurance covers the cost of delivery, in order to adopt, you have to cough up the money in full to adopt. Not many people I know have a spare $40,000 just sitting around to adopt kids with.

    If that's the case, it should be even cheaper then. There is an extremely large "supply" of children being adopted but not much demand. Well I take that back, children under 4 yrs old are more in demand than children older than that. Newborn babies sell like hotcakes, whereas older children just get wrapped in the system.

    yea, it seems like alot of people want asian babies for some reason. (they ARE cute!) ive actually known of a few older couples to adopt an asian baby, and it WAS a very long and expensive process. do they test all the men or just have them fill out questionnaires?

    I will be adopting from China when I'm ready for motherhood. I see no reason to create more children when there are plenty already here needing families.

    My mom went through the AI process a few years back and went to Duke University in NC to get it done. I don't know the cost she was going to pay or the whole proceedure that it entails but I'll tell you what I know.

    Her experience wasn't a full one as the sperm donor backed out not once but twice. (Long story there.)

    The doctor explained the medicine regiment in reference to an apple tree. The first set of meds are started kind of like birth control at the start of your cycle and is kind of like super fertilizer steroids. It makes the "apples" grow really big and also makes more "apples" appear. Meaning that your body gets prepared to drop super fertile multiple eggs for that cycle. The second part of the meds makes it so your body DOESN"T drop it's "apples". This enables the doctors to go and retreive them when the time is right.

    I think that both of these meds are given in a shot form into the fleshy part of the abdomen and also into the high fleshy part of the ass. My sister had to administer these to my mother and my mom did the stomach ones.

    Like I said my mom went through 2 cycles of these meds and horomones without getting pregnant. She had a hard time trying to get her period to come back and went a little insane because of her messed up chemistry. Put it this way. She shipped her 3 girls off to a father that she divorced when I was two and didn't know because she couldn't take care of us that summer and was loopy and THAT was a better option for our care. She was mental cause of this shit. Things got straight again but it took a year and a half to get that way I think. I can ask her if you want to know more info.

    Also there's a whole list of tests to make sure you are even eligible to have this done and capable of carrying to term.

    I have several reasons... I've always been very into Chinese culture and history; I speak a little Mandarin and have followed China since I was a kid. Ever since I heard about the situation with all the girls they have for adoption due to the one-child policy, I knew this was what I was meant to do. A couple of years ago, my aunt and uncle were declared infertile and began researching adoption, and they wondered the same question. They chose a Chinese adoption for several good reasons.

    In this country, all rights are with the birth mother. There are way too many stories of the birth mother changing her mind, even after the adoptive parents have bonded with the baby. Sometimes the birth parents will get back together and decide they want their child back, and this gets drawn out in court until you have a screaming toddler ripped away from the only parents she knows. This is understandably heartbreaking. Moreover, you have way too many problems with drug abuse, child abuse, and things like FAS. In China, the people who give their daughters up for adoption are generally healthy farmers who don't drink excessively or do drugs. You also have the benefit of a totally clean break to go with a healthier baby.

    In China, the orphanages are generally very good these days, and the babies stay with the same foster family until their adoptive parents come to get them. This results in happier, more well-adjusted children than American babies who may be taken away from a junkie and bounced around foster care.

    Maybe I'm being selfish, but I do not have the emotional strength to care for a child with the special needs that so often arise in this country. All the adopted Chinese girls I know (and I've met several) have been healthy, intelligent, happy, and well-adjusted. Add this to the calling I felt when I first heard about this situation, and it's not even a debate for me. I made this decision when I was about 14 and have never wavered in it.

    ^ That's another big issue with US adoptions. The rights of the "natural" parents. In other countries, once the kid is an orphan (for any reason) and you adopt them, it's permanent. In the US, after spending $20-40,000 to adopt a child, the birth parent could, legally, come back and reclaim the child after 5 years saying that they "made a mistake".

    If you remember the case of Baby Richard, his mother gave him up for adoption, but his father came back into the mother's life after the kid was several years old and they decided that they wanted "their family back". Never mind that the kid was already firmly established into his own loving family and growing beautifully. The "natural" parents fought and won the custody battle using the old, "the father didn't approve of the adoption" line. He was 5 years old when he was ripped out of his family's lives and placed with people he didn't know. They moved to Frankfort, IL and within a year of his "natural" parents being together, the divorced. From the last tidbit I heard, he adjusted fine...but, he'd never be ok. Sad.

    People adopt overseas because it's final.
