Adoptive Family Fees
 

  • We have no application fee for any of our programs. We encourage you to apply with multiple organizations in order to find your child.
  • The total adoption fees for a healthy infant range from $16,000 to $30,000. These fees vary depending on the needs of the birth mother. The adoption fees for the placement of an older child or a child with special needs also varies and will be determined prior to matching the birthmother with a family.
  • We accept adoptive home evaluations (home studies) from other qualified organizations. These are then reviewed and approved by us before you are matched with a birthmother.
  • If you are in Utah, one of our social workers would be happy to do a home study for you. The cost is $650, due at the time of the initial visit.
  • Before you are presented on any situation, all costs associated with that child will be itemized and explained to you. We make every effort to keep costs at or below what is originally itemized.
  • Part of the fees will be due at the time both you and the birthmother agree that you will be the adoptive family. The remainder is due when the child is placed with you. The advertising, living, and travel expenses needed for the birthmother will be due at the time you are matched. All other fees will be due at placement including the agency, counseling, legal fees and post delivery assistance for the birthmother.
  • After the placement you will need to have three post placement visits. These can be done by any licensed agency or social worker. We charge $100 per visit.

The document “Steps of Adoption” will further explain the steps that will move you from the point of being interested in adoptions, to finally having your child in your arms and all legal requirements completed. It is our job to help you through each of the steps.
