The cost of adopting a child?
|
I wanted to hear from people who have adopted children both from this country (USA) and from out of country. What is the average cost? How long does it take? Who are some good adoption agencies and what agencies should I avoid? Also what are the odd of an adoption going through for a one parent household?

Adoption through foster care is free or nearly free in every state. It is also the only type of adoption I would recommend.
It took us 1 year, but some people take more and less time....depending on how specific you are and the number of children in the system.

Linny, don't forget the child's soul, and connection to his/her family. But yeah, eleventy billion dollars sounds about right. Unless of course if your purpose is to help a child in need of a family, in which case, foster care adoption is free. |
