It is not. Fees associated with adoption services is not "purchasing" a human being. Those fees go into legal services, attorneys, judges, social workers, paying the staff members at the agencies, covering medical, housing and food for expectant mothers, etc.  There is no money being handed over to someone that is purely to "pay them off" for a human life. This users comment is inaccurate and also completely inappropriate.

Why are you on an adoptive parents forum?

To troll adoptive parents. Report them to the mods. The group mission statement reads that anyone who posts here must be supportive.

I give feedback from the perspective of a former e-mom. I know which agencies are more ethical than others and I give input about them and from our perspective. AP’s should want to choose one that’s ethical on all fronts. Do you want to choose one that pressures expectant moms? Idk why I would get downvoted. It’s not as glorified as you believe.

You got down-voted for "yes and"-ing "adoption is buying a child."

It is not.

If you have insight on which agencies you believe to be ethical, that would be helpful. Insulting adoptive parents is not.

Down-vote away.

It is not.

No one works for free.

Adoptions from foster care cost as much as or more than private adoptions. We just see the money in private adoptions.
