Fostering to adopt, dishonest???

Let me bring a different aspect to this discussion. Maybe if private adotion was affordable to every one, like minimal operating cost from agencies and moderate legal fees for attorneys, more people would be adopting that way and not be tempted into the foster/adoption world. I know it is the case for me and my family. We are a nice family, have good secure jobs, own our home, hava a happy and healthy 2 year bio dd, but we do not have $15,00-$25,000. that a private adoption can cause to start our with. We are telling the state the we want to adopt and to please keep that in mind, so they can try to give us legal/risk children only ( we know things can change later). I am sorry but at this point in my life I cannot adopt an older child. I need to think about my toddler. But my social worker made it very clear to me that there are older waiting children, should that be what we are looking for.
