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.
Members of the U.S. military also qualify for a reimbursement for the cost to adopt a child. The military allows a maximum reimbursement of $5,000 per year, or $2,000 per child, to help pay for one-time adoption costs. In addition, adopting a child with special needs provides up to $1,000 per month in assistance.
