    So if babies are hard to come by, are the older orphans hard to come by as well? Or is it just that baby adoption is the preference?

      Yeah that’s what makes it so expensive. If you’re willing to adopt an older kid it’s still pricey but not the same.

        Not sure I understand. So expensive because babies are more preferred? Or are babies not that much preferred and there’s not actually that many kids in foster care/orphaned?
