How do you adopt a kid?

How old do you have to be to adopt?
Do you have to pay for them?


    

BPD Wife
Adopting a child is a legal process that varies based on the state and/or country regulations. You do NOT pay for children - but you do pay fees for the adoption process. I would recommend speaking to a local adoption agency or your local county's children & youth division to find out more about adoption and foster care.

you have to take a bunch of classes and fill out a bunch of legal documents but usually the state will pay you to adopt kids. My parents adopted 5 and got payed 1000 a month per kids until we turned 18. Cant say whether or not they feel like it was worth it financially but I know we lived a pretty good life. Nice cars big houses. And I love them for what they did for me.

I THINK 21 OR OLDER...
AND NO YOU DONT PAY FOR THEM...
BUT ITS A VERY LONG PROCESS
