I believe it depends where your adopting from. If you adopt from overseas it's really expensive and theres way more red tape. That's because you have two governments to go through. Your also required to fly to the country your trying to adopt from at least twice, once to meet the child and once to take him/her home. It's easier and cheaper to adopt within your own country and cheaper still to adopt wards of the state. However the children available for adoption from the go'vt usually were taken from their parents because of abuse. So unless your prepared and able to give them the special care they need and deserve then don't go that route. Regardless of where you adopt your child from you'll have to go through a background check, home study, and courses. |

Every adoptive family must have a homestudy done in order to get "approval" to adopt. This involves lots of things: proof of financial stability, proof of a safe and stable home enviornment, autobiographies, letters of reference, physical examinations, background checks, etc. It's a pretty involved process!
If you choose to adopt overseas, you must also meet the requirements of whatever country you are adopting from as well as Federal immigration requirements.
Good luck! |

My youngest sister is adopted. You have to have a homestudy, and they see how livable your home is, and how suitable it is for a child.
Also overseas, as my sister is from Russia, you have to have to meet their country requirements.
Also not a bad idea to have a lawyer. |

It depends on what state you live in, but to do this you need a family lawyer. You can usually get that kind of information at no cost on your first consult. If you decide to go ahead with that lawyer you'll will have to pay a retainer of at least $2,000. And depending on how complicated the adoption is you'll have to pay more. |
