I can see how that would make a difference. <br /><br />If it is the same agency or same sending country varying the cost of adoption for different racial groups, that is bad. It really illustrates, though, how supply and demand can operate in adoption, unfortunately. <br /><br />Sue (aka anonymous)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
