Adoption

What are your thoughts about adoption? I have been looking in to domestic and international adoptions a little bit and trying to learn a little more about them. I have also been researching options for financing such an adoption. There are some little boys at my school who were recently adopted from Russia which I think is a really great thing, but I was also wondering what are people's thoughts on adoptions in the United States. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Gosh, there are so many positive things I would do if I had money...
