Adoption

I had always considered adoption as an option when I was ready to have kids. My father was adopted when he was young and he always speaks so highly of his parents, he seems so grateful. My current boyfriend is from Costa Rica, and we have been dating long enough to have talked about kids and such. We played with the idea of adopting from Costa Rica, but after I heard how much it can cost I don't know if we'll be able to afford it!
I also have a friend who thinks its "dumb" to adopt, especially outside the country. It makes me angry when she speaks about adoption like that. It's also upsetting to her roommate who was adopted when she was young. It's hard to understand some people's mind sets.
