I overheard this conversation, so fully aware I don't have all the facts, but from what I heard it doesn't sound right.
Lady is a Foster Carer. Currently has a 8 month old she is looking after. Once the baby turns one she is allowed to apply to adopt her, but has to pay £1500 upon application.
Is this correct? If so, what are the reasons for this payment? Sounds a bit like buying children, which doesn't sit well. Kind of like selling the child to the highest bidder.
Like I say, I overheard this conversation, so may well have got the wrong end of the stick, but has anyone heard of anything like this?
