How much is it to adopt in California......?

I live in Georgia and am interested in adopting a baby from California. The mother wants to give the baby up for adoption! How much would it cost in all, she hasn't had the baby yet. I hope to get to maybe adopt the little one.

We lived in CA and adopted a baby born in GA. I think our total cost was about $15,000, which included signing up with an agency, adoption classes, home study, searching for a match, as well as the expenses we paid to my daughter's mom. It really depends on where you are starting from. You will need a lawyer or agency to be involved in both states. There is an interstate compact agreement you will need to take the baby out of CA (assuming she gives birth in CA).
It also depends on the mom's situation and what expenses you would pay for her (if any). In CA most pregnant women that can't afford healthcare qualify for state funded medical care, so you probably wouldn't have to pay for that. |

If you matched with this lady through the internet, then please, do yourself a favor and get an attorney involved.
The unfortunate truth is that many long distance "matches" turn out to be emotional fraud...the supposed birth mother isn't pregnant, or she knows she's going to keep the baby all along.
Get an attorney or agency (if you have one) involved to make sure you don't lose your hearts and your wallet to this woman. |
