Jesus fuck, $30k just to have a geriatric pregnancy with someone else's kid? That seems fucking insane to me... Why not just adopt? There are so many kids who need a good home out there already.
In the US at least, it really depends on adopting infants vs. foster care. Most adopt infants, and there's generally more prospective parents than infants. Foster care tends to be more challenging, so there's less parents willing to adopt them.
