[Question] "How much did she cost?" [A Better Way] "If this isn't too personal a question, how much does the adoption process cost? If you'd rather not discuss that, I understand."
People are not bought and sold. The process may be costly — the agency fees, travel, etc. But this question suggests children are commodities rather than human beings. It's best not to ask about the cost unless the parents offer information or you are earnestly researching adoption for yourself. If you're just curious, stay that way.
