Financial Supports

While fees for private or international adoption may range anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000, adopting from foster care is either low cost ($2,000 or less) or free. In addition many of the children adopted from foster care are eligible for adoption assistance and medical insurance (adoption subsidy) to help their parents cover the costs of caring for them.


In this section you will find information about adoption subsidy eligibility and regulations; tax benefits for adoptive families; and grant, loan, and employer benefit programs to assist with funding adoption related expenses.
