Costs for an adoption vary widely from $0 to $50,000 depending on the type of adoption pursued. It generally costs from $0 to $1,000 to adopt a child from a County Foster/Adopt program. These children are often older, but sometimes infants are placed.
The military provides active-duty personnel a reimbursement for most one-time adoption costs, up to $2,000 per child. The maximum amount available in a given year is $5,000, even if both parents are in the military. Reimbursement is made after the adoption is finalized. A child with disabilities may also be eligible for up to $1,000 a month in assistance under the military's program for persons with disabilities.
