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.)
In identified adoption, a hybrid of agency and independent adoption, adopters find a birth mother on their own but use an agency for services such as the homestudy and birth parent counseling. Typical cost: $7,000 to $10,000 in legal fees for yourself and the birth parents, plus at least $7,500 in medical expenses.
