My husband and I are wanting to adopt a little girl, but to adopt cost more than we can afford. What do we do?

Question

We already have two boys, and doctors say I can't have anymore children. I really would love to have a little girl.

Answer 1

We live in a messed up world, where there are too many children out there that need good homes. You shouldn't have to pay for them. What are they puppies. I hope you start fostering.

Answer 2

My mom did foster-care and she ended up adopting all 5 of them!  Since it began with foster care she didn't have to pay anything to adopt them and she recieves a state payment of like $400 a month per child. Oh and with foster care you can pick the s*x and age of child you want

Answer 3

take a loan from the bank if you can.

Answer 4

in the state i live in there is a web site that shows all the young children that are custody of the state and all you have to do is take a class it last about 9 weeks and depending on the child they pay YOU to adopt them all you have to do is give them something they don't have a LOVING HOME , the children range from all different ages. all you have to do is contact social services and they can give you more information

Answer 5

Start fostering, or call your local children's aid society.  They always have kids who need loving homes, and I don't think they charge you to adopt the kids, since the kids are already costing them a lot of money to care for.  Those are the kids who need it most.

Answer 6

Borrow or ask family to give you money is one possibility. If you are in the US, you will get a tax credit the year you adopt (can't remember what it is but I think it's like $15,000) which you can use to pay back money you borrowed.

Another option is to foster a baby girl and hope you can adopt her at some point. That is what a friend of mine did, and she picked up her beautiful little girl at 2 days old.

If this is something you both want, you will need to find creative ways to achieve it. Good luck.
