Cost ranges from $10,000 - $30,000 in the U.S. if you go through an agency.
If you go through department of social services (in your state) and adopt from the foster care system it is from $0 - $1,500.
Race doesn't matter. There are less babies in foster care but older children need homes as well ya know!?
The wait from foster care should only be about 90 - 120 days for paperwork (it takes longer if you don't have all your personal documents ready) and up to 1 year to have a child placed with you. |

Yeah... it will cost your soul.... because anything where you have to pay whatever to get a baby is unethical and immoral.
Infant adoption creates a demand which in turn creates opportunities for mothers to be exploited. You do realise that to have what you want means another mother and her baby must lose each other? How comfortable are you with that? Its not all rosy and cheerful, rainbows and ponies. Adoption is about heartache, loss and anguish hence why if you are ready to put that on someone so YOU can have what you WANT, then you are literally paying with your soul because it is plain wrong. |

For what "allchildrenareangels" says adoption is worth, I think you might want to consider surrogacy. It's done with contracts, and might save you a lot of heartache in the end. Of course many surrogates charge a lot, but you can find those who are doing a low compensation or altruistic surrogacy.

Good luck! |
