Who will help me pay for an adoption?

Question

Hi, I really want to adopt my step-son. I was planning on doing this with tax money but things are kinda shaky between me and my husband. I have NO credit. How can I get help paying for the adoption?

Answer 1

Well, if you adopt a child, your credit will get a lot tougher... Dont adopt at this moment. Wait until you have the right creit

Answer 2

is the fathers ex paying child support? because if she is, the moment you adopt, child support is canceled that is why my step-dad never adopted me, so that my mom would still get paid child support from my real dad.

Answer 5

Okay, what am I missing here?  You want to adopt your step son, but things are shaky between your husband and yourself????  

First of all, one of the steps in ANY adoption, whether it is for a step child or through an agency etc. is financial stability...and well... so, before you get all worked up...you need to talk to your local social services office and they will tell you the steps.

You need to be able to provide a stable atmosphere for this child.  Think about this very carefully.

Good luck.

Answer 6

If things are shakey between you and your husband, why in the world would you want to adopt your step-son?

To do so, you would have to pay for it on your own.

Answer 7

Is this a jesture to improve relations with your husband? What about your step-son's mother?

money.IF your having trouble in  your marriage

there isn't any way.

Answer 14

If things are shakey the case study will reject you.  Wait it out a bit and build up the relaionship while you save money.  

PS you will also get a tax deduction for part of the costs of the adoption.  Just FYI

Answer 15

family members close friendsor maybe a boss/co-worker etc.

Answer 16

just have a few more kids, why adopt?

Answer 17

its no good adopting if your relationship is shaky....adoption is a big thing to a child and they to know that things are stable at home,you could adopt him and then split with your husband...what good is that going to do that child...just stay a step mum....i hope your not thinking about adopting the boy just to save your marriage as thats no way to do it.

think about what your going to do very hard before you do anything as this child does not need the emotional heartache its going to cause.
