A friend of my wife adopted and they had a terrible time. They had one young girl in TX who was going to give her kid up. The friend and husband paid thousands of dollars in doctor bills and food etc. They drove all the way down to TX to make it official and the girl decided to keep the baby.
They were out of all their money and time but the worst was the emotional attachment that she had already developed with a baby she had never met only to have that taken away. It was a very sad deal.
But a year later they did have an adoption that worked out and are doing well.
