China is making money on adoptions. Communism isn't about money or social values. It's a criminal mentality. The economics of Communism is how to steal the money from the "rich capitalists who obviously made money by stealing it themselves."

I like that little girls are being adopted and not aborted. I hope and pray that this is better for all in the long run.

I do not think that the Chinese government is involved in international adoption strictly for the money. The amount going to the Chinese government is approximately $3500 (of which $3000 goes to subsidize the orphanages). The remaining $500 is varied legal costs. I would suspect that an international adoption from another country or, even a domestic adoption, would have similar fees.

The greater cost is the agency costs for putting together the paperwork required by the U.S. and Chinese government, and the travel costs to go to China for two weeks.

Geez, that's a big misrepresentation of China. First of all the communism in China right now is a weird form that's somewhere between capitalisms and communisms. Second, it also was a lot better than the former republican government at first which really was filled with "rich capitalists" who were corrupt and owned way more than necessary compared to the extreme poverty of the everyone else. You can't expect China to reform to the level of the US when they've faced so many problems (wars, etc).

As a side note, yes, it is most often way better for a single woman in America to adopt the girls rather than them stay in orphanages. Of course if she were married that'd be better, but some good still equals good.
