    not a lawyer or an expert but a quick Google seems to indicate in the US you have to pay to adopt a child, whereas I believe it’s free / you get paid in European countries.

      Adopting children from US Foster Care systems actually come with perks (guaranteed Medicaid) and a stipend of sorts. Adopting newborns can cost $50k. It’s wild.
