In the USA most foster child adoption are free or will require a small legal fee. Sometimes there is a charge for the homestudy |

generally this is no charge. But each State is different. The only thing you should have to do, is take the Foster Program classes, and have your home study completed. Which can take up to a years time. |

Ours was completely free - no out of pocket expenses what so ever. |

In most areas of North America there is no charge for adoptions from foster care. If there is a charge it's usually minimal. |

we had to pay 35.00 for our fire inspection to get licensed
and we will have to pay 166.00 for the finalization Grand total of 201 that we can claim on our taxes as an adoption expense |

As everyone else said, usually free. No matter your religion, I highly recommend Associated Catholic Charities; they are great to work with. And whatever you do, I wouldn't work directly with the state. They are usually a nightmare. (All foster kids come from the state, but their are other agencies you can work with, such as above referenced.)
God bless! |

depends ,the more good looking the more expensive ,but keep in mind ugly ones hold their value more for when you want to sell ,its a hard one to decide ,I would go for the ugly ones and just tell people its not yours your just looking after it. |

Don't think there is a charge, you just have to fill out paperwork and have them observe your home for a while to see if you would be a fit parent. |
