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. A voluntary adoption of a newborn through a non-profit agency will generally cost between $10,000 and $25,000.
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.
