Many adoption agencies do both, they are contracted with the state for foster care children and also do private adoptions. When doing a private adoption the adoptive parents do pay and the rates vary from 20k-40k depending on the gender and ethnic background if adopting within the US. Blond haired blue eyed babies are more costly than babies who are not Caucasian. You can find that right on many of the adoption pages. When using the same agency and adopting through foster care the adoption is virtually free. There are sometimes fees up to 2k but normally they are reimbursed.
