Adoption Costs

For your convenience, we have broken the fee section into two parts: first, with the typical costs and fees to adopt a child within the USA (domestic adoption) and second, the typical costs involved with an adoption outside the USA (international adoption). We know that all to often you will not be given "all" of the fees and costs up front and so what may sound like a great deal could end up becoming a disaster when you find yourself suddenly confronted with unexpected costs and fees.  With that in mind, we have not only listed the average cost of adopting through our agency, but have also provided a list of typical fees you can expect. We hope you will save these page to your favorite places so that you can use them to ask questions when speaking to an agency about adopting a child.

Costs for domestic child adoption vary depending on many factors.  Please click the preceding link for a list break down of costs and fees to adopt a child within the USA and a list of programs that can help reduce your costs.

Costs for international child adoption vary depending on many factors.  Please click the preceding link for a list break down of costs and fees to adopt a child from outside the USA and a list of programs that can help reduce your costs.

Why You Need an Adoption Consultant

There are many risks when you go to adopt a child including losing a child after you have already taken them home (referred to as a disruption), loosing all of the money you have invested in the adoption if the birth mother changes her mind, or finding that there are previously unknown or undisclosed fees that may appear. Dr Berger has helped thousands of  adopting families with domestic adoptions and international adoptions and he is available to assist you no matter what type of adoption you chose to pursue and regardless of whether you work with an adoption agency, facilitator or adoption attorney.  He can help you save your  time, effort and money in helping you to decide what routes to take and the best way to achieve your goal of adopting a child. He can help reduce your risks and potential pain and can help you avoid many of the problems and pitfalls found in the adoption process.
