I shouldn't be so naive, I know, but I'm absolutely shocked to discover that some adoption agencies charge a staggered rate for adoptions depending on the race or ethnicity of the child being adopted.
I want to write a letter to my congressman and senator about this practice. I'm so angry! I know of one Texas agency that does this.
Does anyone else know of any other agencies who do this terrible thing with pricing, almost as if children of non-Caucasian descent are worth less? I'm so outraged!
I've edited your post to remove the agency name.
You're free to write your congressman - but what you need to remember is that agencies (non-state run child placing agencies that do infant adoption) are in no way, shape or form, governed by the state with regards to their 'fees'.
Not saying its right...just saying.
Adoption is a business - the rules of supply and demand apply. As disgusting and unethical as that is...it applies to adoption.
