Consider Average cost of adoption $ 10 , 00015 , 000 8 , 00040 , 000 rangeAverage Salary of new parents $ 53 , 000 Many people have enough money to raise children . Adoption is more expensive than raising your own children . You also have adoption costs on top of the normal baby costs that would put you in a place where it ' s impossible to adopt , but possible to have a child without adoption costs and have enough to pay for them . I ' m 32 and am just now graduating postbacc and I certainly don ' t have enough money to adopt currently , but if I impregnated a girl right now , I ' d be alright because I ' m about to make some serious money finally after being poor for my whole life , but I couldn ' t adopt . <| sep |> C ' est pas du tout comme a que je t ' imaginais en vrai . Ca te dirait pas d ' aller boire un verre ?
