Money in adoption affects all of us. But it affects each of us differently. Adoptee Sara Easterly, Birth Mom Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard, and Adoptive Mom Lori Holden talk about why domestic infant adoption is so expensive, what goes into the fees, and what happens when people in desperate situations: (A) women in unplanned pregnancies and (B) people with Baby Fever—use the Internet to search for a solution to their problems. Not to mention (C) how it feels to have a price tag attached to your existence.

“This episode is one of the best adoption podcasts/vlogs I have ever seen. I wish every individual contemplating an adoption could see it before they make their final decision. It also teaches us why we WANT the adoption process to be Hard and THOROUGH. Not everyone is cut out to be an adoptive parent. THANK YOU for your consistent and heartfelt commitment to adoptees’ best interests.”
