I agree w/ calches. We did an international adoption (China) & the largest part of our fees were our travel (2 weeks in country). We didn't have to pay for that until the very end. Up until then our fees were in smaller amounts (I think the most @ a time was $2000 for homestudy/post placement fees). You could also look @ foster/adopt which I don't think costs anything. Also, you might know someone who knows someone that wants to find adoptive parents for their birth child (depending on what state you're in, you would just need an adoption attorney for that case but you'd have to look @ your state laws).

If you do want to TTC, you can certainly do that! There are many, many women on this board that have successfully TTC & just b/c you can successfully TTC doesn't mean that you can't adopt as well, you have many options!

Good Luck!
