Being expensive isn't the same thing as purchasing a child, obviously.
The distinction isn't as obvious to me -- or to most people, apparently -- as it is to you. Which is not itself a problem.
The problem would be if you think you've performed some devastating praxeological smackdown, which you have not. However, it wouldn't be my problem, so I'm content to let it alone.

You're obviously trying to come to a conclusion that you want to come to. In adoption, do you pay the birth mother? Or do you pay administrators of the process? Are those administrators paid to deliver you a product or service, or to ensure that the child's interests are upheld which means potentially denying you the product you want to pay for?
This is obvious so what's you're agenda, why play dumb?

You have obviously already made up your mind here, so this isn't a discussion, this is you trying to play smart.
