When we were researching international adoption we found that most African adoptions were about $15,000- $20,000 total. Also there is an $11,000 federal tax credit for adoptive families, so that helps a lot. |

I really depends on what you're going for. Adoptions can result from a high amountage or to a decent amountage. Try Googling some sites and checking out the system. I bet you'll find tons of things on what you want specifically. And other than that, you can call a couple of them up to ask some questions. |

Africa is an awfully large continent. Did you have a specific country in mind? |

Get off the Angelina Brad Pitt bandwagon. There are plenty of kids in the US that need good homes.
But a freakin lot. |

We looked into this ourselves a while back. Although I can't remember the exact amount, the least expensive place we found was Americans for African Adoption. They have a nice website and I believe were the first agency in Ethiopia. There is a nice piece on them by Diana Sawyer. They operate in Ethiopia and Liberia. Good luck. |

Amazing how 'in' it's in to adopt certain African babies like the hollywood elite is doing; like pets rather than humans.
Welcome to the age of reverse slavery. |

It shouldnt cost a damn penny. The Goverment knows that them kids need a good home and food. And they momma aint takin good enough care of them. It should be pricless to take care of a child in need! |
