International Adoption Fees & Expenses

We make adoption as affordable as possible for our families. Our application fee is $300. The Home Study fee is $1,250 for domestic adoptions and $1,550 for international or Hague Convention adoptions; if your country of adoption has additional requirements, such as an extra visit for China or extra agency documentation such as for Russia, there is an additional fee of $200.  The Post Placement Report fee is $350 for one child and $375 for two children.

International adoption fees vary, country to country. The agency international adoption administration fee is $3,500 for all countries.  The case management and foreign facilitation fees vary, depending upon the country.  Estimates for third party expenses and travel costs vary with countries, as well.

We provide complete, detailed information about fees and estimated costs, which can be found as part of the program information for each country, and we can also email the program guides to you.
