International Adoption seems to run about $20,000 - $36,000+. My hubby and I are looking into this as well, so I understand all that you are going through right now. Good Luck!

Answer 6

Possum's got it right. Foster care is full of children looking for homes. My husband and I started talking about foster-adoption a few months ago. It's the only way we'd adopt.

Answer 7

Well I guess you would have to look up adoption agencies in your area or where ever it is you are planning on adopting from. Good luck and god bless you. :)

Answer 8

Answer 9

Simple google search.

Answer 10

It depends on the situation. If it is a private adoption or one through an agency.  Agencies also vary in cost.  We adopted through Holt agency in Wa.  They are a wonderful  agency  and we had our little girl in only ten months.  My son  was a private adoption and a bit more  involved.   Both children are grown now and  no regrets.   God bless you and good luck  with yours.

Answer 11

if you go out of the country to adopt it can cost thousands of dollars. but if you wanna do foster care, you will be able to adopt eventually. it is a really cool thing to do. it costs nothing, and you get paid. you can get free food coupons, and you get a clothing allounce every once and a while to buy clothes. you also get paid a certain amount each day. it depends how extreme the childs behavior is. my parents did foster care, and we adopted 5 kids. its really awesome. they might have behavior problems at first, but if you work with it, they will get better and everything will be fine. i reccomend this to anyone interested in adoption. its the best way. the only thing is that when u get a child/children, you never know what is going to happen right away. they could leave the next day to go to a relative, or they could be up for adoption eventually. some times it can take a year for them to go up for adoption. dont think of it as a bad thing, because then you have plenty of time to bond with them and get to know who they really are. if something goes wrong and you dont want to keep them in your home anymore, then you can have them moved into another home. i really hope that my advice will help you. just remember that foster care is a wonderful thing to do.

Answer 12

You'll pay about 20K to adopt from the US for a baby or young toddler.  You'll pay about 25-35K if you go overseas.

Answer 13

My aunt has recently adopted two kids from Russia. Depending on what country you want to adopt from definatley influences the cost. It cost a few thousand dollars and lots of paper work and your time.  This is all worth it though if its what you really want. I would look around any areas near you to see if they have any adoption agencies they will be able to put you in the right direction. Hope that helps

Answer 14

Dose?

Answer 15

If you adopt through foster care - it won't cost much.

Get in touch with your local government agency.

(over 100,000 children who really NEED a loving home)

Infant adoption costs a bomb.

(reason - too many people want to adopt an infant - and there are not enough to go around)

Please read up fulling on the possible effects of relinquishment and adoption on adoptees and bio families.

Adoptee blogs -

First parent blogs -

Some web-sites -

For a child to be put up for adoption - that child has had to lose their family, their history, their heritage - and more.

That loss needs to be validated for the child.

Please read widely about what it's like for the adoptee - so that you can be the best adoptive parent for that child.

Thankyou.
