Adoptions in the US cost ~$40k, a lot more then the 10-15k for pregnancy.

If you are trying to import a baby, yes. The price can be considerably lower, if not free, for foster to adopt, especially for older children.

    Domestic adoption costs a lot too. Source: I adopted a baby from Virginia and it cost over $50,000. It is a very broken system.
