Do I now? According the government's education site, it costs about $6000-7300 per year for school. It doesn't list high school, so I'm going to assume those are the same as the most expensive years listed; giving a total cost of $80298. For most adults that represents 4-6 years of taxes paid.
And before you judge me too quickly I have no problem with immigration or adoption. My fiancee is in the process of getting her permanant residence, and I will be adopting her son and I pray he accepts me as his dad.
One other thing that has come up in this thread; people say Invitro is often needed because people wait to have children. To those people I ask the question- is it better to have parents in their 30s who have stable careers; or parents in their late teens hoping to get the better shift at McDonalds?
Edit- forgot to link where I got my education numbers:
