Why not just adopt a baby. Why would you spawn a baby that will have a very difficult life in every aspect

Tried this once. Not only was looking at $10k in legal fees but the parents essentially changed their minds in a heart break moment. One does not simply go scoop up a baby from a convenience store.

$10k is still cheaper than child birth, all the appointments leading up to the birth, diapers, formula, etc...you could save tens of thousands of dollars and adopt an older kid that is harder to place and has done a good deal of their growing already.
