How are there so many children in America in the adoption system?
Private adoptions using an agency can cost between
$15,000 - $42,000 on average. Families are often in waiting to save the money to fund the process. The expenses of domestic adoptions through private agencies are often a hurdle most Americans can't maneuver.
To adopt from the foster care system is often low-cost and funded by the state you live in. If adopting is something you're being called into, there are resources that we are dedicated to provide.
We felt an immediate need for children, in our home country, to experience the love and comfort of a "forever home". The impact that the love of a family can have on a child's future, is immeasurable. How can we make a difference?
