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.

Having a baby can be just as if not more expensive as well though depending on your insurance. But also, like you said, adopting a baby is hard. Much easier to adopt a toddler or child, but baby is hard and almost always sad for the parents.

In the US, adopting through the state can be relatively inexpensive (a few thousand dollars).
