What are the Costs?

Adoption Service Fees

As a private, licensed adoption agency, we are committeed to providing quality adoption services in the same caring, professional atmosphere that has been our trademark since 1953.

Our income is primarily derived from two sources-adoption fees and donors. Adoption fees alone do not cover the cost of each adoption. We must rely on the generosity of our donors including individual contributors and supporters of our fundraising efforts.

Fees are not due all at once. Rather, payments are made in 5 installments throughout the adoption process.

The Federal Government also provides an Adoption Tax Credit of up to $10,630, depending on your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). We recommend that adoptive families consult with a tax advisor to see IRS Form 8839 for information on how the Tax Credit works for them. The Adoption Tax Credit can significantly reduce the net average cost for qualifying adoptive families.

We Believe in the...LOVE of birthparents, POWER of adoptive parents, VALUE of adoption.
