When using a private agency to adopt a child, expect costs to range in the tens of thousands of dollars, with many adoptions costing on average from $20,000 to $40,000. Adopting an infant usually costs less, totaling anywhere from $15,000 to $35,000. How adoption works. The adoption process proceeds depending in large part on whether you seek a newborn or an older child. Older children usually find themselves in the foster care system of their respective state.
It depends how you adopt. Adopting from the foster care system is nearly free, and these kids really need homes. There are generally few young children, so you will have a shorter wait for an over 5 or a sibling group. Private newborn adoption is about $12,000-$25,000, depending on the situation. Sometimes you pay some expenses for the natural mom, but mostly the fees go to agencies, lawyers, facilitators etc. Some agencies don't let you specify girl/boy.
