Is there anyone in Australia has adopted baby? How much will it cost in total?

Could you please tell me how much it will cost and how long it will take? What ages are normally available?

Adoptions of "Australian" children are extremely rare - the vast majority are of overseas children and those adoptions are carried out overseas ($$$$) and then the child is brought here.

In 2007 in South Australia there were 76 adoptions - 74 were overseas and only 2 were "Australian".

The government is very wary of cutting parental ties of children - they prefer long term foster care

These sites should help you find some information about adoption in Australia. Its not an industry here but a service for children needing a home and not profit driven so adoptions are lower than any othert country in the world. And you don't go looking for foster homes to find a baby to adopt. It doesn't work like that.

Dr Rosebud
To be honest, I haven't adopted, but I do know the about it.

The cost depends on the age of the child and their needs while in the care.
Normally you would find children under the age of 5 in the foster home, because some young couples give up their babies.
It will take a while for the papers to be signed, registered etc.
But really, when it comes to love, money, age and time doesn't matter.
Right?
