Very disturbing choice of words.

You are critical of her/his choice of words when they speak the truth. You would prefer euphemisms?

[Texas_shutterbug]

I agree. Babies don’t have a price. As an adoptive mother myself, I paid fees for various services, but I didn’t “buy” my children for a price.

I don’t think it’s a “very disturbing choice of words” at all.

The cost of bringing the baby “home” was $3,000.

Get over your holier-than-thou antagonism toward adoption.

FWIW, the adoption process brings out the crappiest jerks in the world, worse than used car salesmen. The bureaucrats and lawyers who prolong the process so they can profit are absolutely jerks who I pray will end up in hell.

And, yes, money is expended to bring the child home. That is a tragedy, but that is the fact of the matter.

Get over it.

The adoption process was full of fees and other assorted charges. When I picked her up from the orphanage it was understood that there would be a $3000 fee. They wanted crisp new $100 bills. The fee was to cover the costs the government had paid for her care to that time.

Yeah, right!

I don't know where the money when, but I don't think it went to the care of the girls.

If you choose to think of it as "buying" a little girl then mores the pity for you!
