Adopting--being there twice

We tried adopting twice through a local attorney. The first time, the mother wasn't really pregnant. The 2nd time, the mom changed her mind the day before the baby was born. We lost about $7,000. If we had went through an adoption agency, we would have paid around $20-30,000.
