The Costs Of Adoption<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The costs associated with adoption vary greatly and depend on individual circumstances. If you choose to adopt through a foster program<\/a>, the cost is typically less. Prospective parents have less discretion in these situations, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those seeking to work directly with a birth mother, the costs generally range from $10,000 to $30,000\u2014although such estimates may not include considerations such as costs pertaining to home study and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
