She got back to me in under 5 minutes. It would have been much sooner if she wasn't on her Honeymoon and still dealing with the Doctor from the fertility clinic.
I'm paying for the adoption (already set the money aside) once they come to realize biology isn't on their side.

You'd think they were selling little future pro athletes or little Justin biebers for that price. With all the kids in group homes, and foster care, you'd think they would be less expensive. The cost stops lots of good people from raising kids.
The problem/reality is most prospective parents are in the market for infants.
Having been a foster parent and seeing the damaged goods up close and personal, I can't help but side with them. These kids are so damaged by the time they enter the system and even further damaged by their time in the system that it's hardly surprising they're so difficult to place.
It's a vicious cycle for these kids once they enter the system. Most of them end up shuttled from foster home to receiving home to foster home when they are very young, amidst the court ordered returns to the abusive and/or neglectful homes they were originally taken away from, of course -- And then the final indignity is being shuttled from group home to foster home to group home once they're to old to be placed with an adoptive family. It beats them down. And that beating down stays with them for the rest of their lives.
