Answer 2

We are doing domestic newborn adoption through an agency and will pay a flat fee of $20,000.   The agency covers ALL birthmother expenses and if the birthmother changes her mind and decides to parent the child, we are not out any money...

Answer 3

It really is dependent on the type of adoption you proceed with.   Foster/Adopt programs are going to be different than going through an agency.  Private adoptions through an attorney will vary also from agencies.  

I recommend contacting a local reputable adoption agency to discuss what types of adoption are available.  You may also want to contact your local Dept of Human Services Children & Youth Division to find out more about foster/adopt programs.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Depends on what adoption choice you make, through the county, private through an attorney, etc.  The county is usually free or they ask for a documentation fee of about $500.
