"I told my doctor that I wanted my tubes tied. The doctor said, 'You need to think about this more.' It baffles me that our society still doesn't trust women to know their own minds and wants."
I’m in Canada, but much of the cost of adoption is the same.
Legal fees to change the parentage (and sometimes the name) of anchild.
Counselling for the birth parents.
Travel costs for the birth parents.
Background checks for the adoptive parents (legal, medical, and financial).
Counselling/social work for the adoptive parents.
Payment to the adoption agency for facilitating the whole process.
The only significant difference I know of in the US is that some ahencies are for-profit, and medical costs aren’t covered by unicersal healthcare, so have to be added on.
