Viruses share a few characteristics with living organisms but not  many, viruses are essentially just chains of proteins. They contain  genetic information but they do not hâ¦ave any cellular stucture as  most other forms of life do.
Hopeful couples discover that adoption or gestational surrogacy costs from tens of thousands of dollars to more than $100,000. (And that's on top of the thousands of dollars many have already shelled out on fertility treatments, to say nothing about the emotional toll.)
Members of the U.S. military also qualify for a reimbursement for the cost to adopt a child. The military allows a maximum reimbursement of $5,000 per year, or $2,000 per child, to help pay for one-time adoption costs. In addition, adopting a child with special needs provides up to $1,000 per month in assistance.
