When Heidi Pritchard Payne brought home her son from South Africa nine years ago, people shocked her with one question repeatedly: how much did you pay for the child?
Pritchard Payne, who now works with Adopt4Life , an organization for adoptive parents in Ontario, says that while adopting internationally was costly, it should never be thought of as “paying for a child.”
“You’re not paying for the child, you’re paying for the process,” says Pritchard Payne. “It’s a big commitment, if that’s the route you want to go.”
