Tired of “just adopt!”
Im frustrated with people telling me to “just adopt”. My husband and I may not be able to have children of our own. SO MANY people have no idea what goes into adoption or the fees it incurs. Unlike fostering which in terms of infants rarely results in adoption, infant adoption ranges between $20,000 and $40,000 and it can take up to 3 years and some heart aches along the way to ultimately have the child in your arms. Of course we would love to have an adopted baby, and we know that it would be a blessing to receive one, but we wish people were more sensitive to the fact that it is extremely hard for some people to do. It’s hurtful to hear the words “well just adopt” roll off the tongue as if it were super easy and a baby would show up tomorrow. We’re hoping to educate some people along this heartbreaking infertility journey we are on. Sensitivity is a must!
