Viruses share a few characteristics with living organisms but not  many, viruses are essentially just chains of proteins. They contain  genetic information but they do not hâ¦ave any cellular stucture as  most other forms of life do.
Hopeful couples discover that adoption or gestational surrogacy costs from tens of thousands of dollars to more than $100,000. (And that's on top of the thousands of dollars many have already shelled out on fertility treatments, to say nothing about the emotional toll.)
There will also be a series of trips to the other state to meet and bond with the child before placement into your home. The adopting family covers those costs. A local foster care adoption can cost up to $2,000, not including travel expenses. Private domestic adoption costs vary from adoption to adoption and state to state. An agency fee ranges from $15,000 â 30,000. Additional costs for birth parent expenses (i.e. medical, rent, living expenses, phone, etc.) are set on a case-by-case basis.
