If you have insurance, it's often not that expensive to actually have a baby. IVF is expensive though, and only sometimes covered by insurance. We were looking at $25k for one round of IVF and $5k for each subsequent round, if those were necessary. Adoption was around $50k from what I remember.

Some states require IVF coverage by medical insurance. With those prices, it may actually be cheaper in certain circumstances to move.
