Adoption rules relax as nearly 100000 foster children await families
In the United States many hopeful parents skip adoption due to perceived financial and home standards. Agencies push flexible rules and publicity to reach middle income couples, stressing that money is not the sole factor. Fees range from 50 to 1000 dollars, with waivers possible. Agencies emphasize counseling, parental rehabilitation, and involvement of extended family, while independent adoptions cost more but offer fewer services. Religion can be a hurdle, though policies vary.
