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.)
The total annual public cost for a child who has been adopted from care in Oregon is $8,964. This is close to one reported national average of $10,302 (Zill, 2011). The average annual net savings for one child being adopted out of foster care is $17,636 in Oregon, and it is $15,480 nationally. In 2010, AFFEC contributed to the work of getting approximately 132 children and siblings out of foster care and into homes with permanent and loving families.
