Adotion fees???

Question

does anyone know how much the adoption fees are in the united states i live in nevada if that help me and my husband have a 2 1/2 month old and we thinking about adopting a child within the next year there are so many kids that need homes

Answer 1

The fees also depend upon the method of adoption.  By that I mean if you conduct a private adoption it normally costs around one amount (each circumstance is different) and if you conduct an adoption through Foster Care the costs are normally very little (under $1000) or nothing at all.  My first, an 8 month old through an international adoption, cost $800 US but we were living in the country we adopted from at the time.  Our second, 4 days old when we first brought her home, has been free because we went through Foster Care.

It doesn`t so much depend where you are as much as what you are doing and the circumstances involved.  Call a number of local agencies and ask them directly.

Answer 2

Adoption through foster care is free in most states, and low cost in others.  Call your local DHS.

Answer 3

Varies a lot between $5,000-$40,000. Depends on agency, birth mother, attorney, whether domestic or international, whether you first foster then adopt etc.

Answer 4

from public foster care you usually only have cost of your physcial

private or agency adoptions do run $2000- $40,000 depending on agency

if you are of a particular faith, Catholic, Jewish, and some Christian organizations.... it is usually a lower cost..

Answer 5

The fees are set by the attorneys and the agencies.  It generally depends upon how much time is spent processing the paperwork.

Answer 6

i have a 1 month old and i'm kicking down the door of my OB for an IUD!!! and you want another babe??? wow... :-)

seriously, if you are interested in "helping needy kids" i would look at foster-adopt.  these kids NEED homes. and the fees are nominal.

Answer 7

You have a 2 month old baby and you're even THINKING about taking on another child?

C'mon!  This has got to be a joke.

Answer 8

I love vague questions like this!

What type of adoption are you interested in? There are too many different types, I can't even begin to answer this question without more details.
