Where does all that money go?






As most of you know and some of you may not know, adoption is quite expensive.  Did you know??  Well now you do.  We are looking at about $30,000 for this journey to our daughter.  Here is a breakdown of where some of  that $30,000 will go.  Of course there will be unexpected expenses as well.  What does cost mean when you want so badly to give a little girl a forever family.  I would pay this amount over and over for any of my children.

Application - $300 paid

Technology Fee- $250 paid

Adoption Education Classes -$150 paid

Homestudy Fee - $ 2000 plus .52/mile

USCIS Application - $1000

U.S. Processing Fee -$3500

Adoption Program Fee - $15,000 (not a typo) that is 15 thousand

Travel cost - ~$10,000

Placement Fees - $2000 plus mileagae
