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.
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.
