International adoptions tend to run from about twelve or fifteen thousand to about thirty. But the cost usually includes agency fees, travel expenses and CIS (formerly called the INS) fees, as well as the fees required by the country from which you are adopting.
In most cases, the money is paid in increments as you go through the adoption process rather than all at one time in a lump sum.
Check with your accountant or the IRS, because adoptive parents may be eligible for a tax credit of over ten thousand dollars.
For Canadian readers, the average cost of an international adoption is about Can$20,000, including travel cost for two adults. But it's only a rough average, and varies up and down depending on the country and the number of trips needed, number of people travelling, services provided, dollar exchange rate, etc.
Two fees are a major part of your cost: the agency fee in Canada, and the foreign fee.
• Agency fee. You would generally pay half at the start and half on completing the adoption. The parts of the fee relating to time spent providing services would not be refundable.
• Foreign fee. Typically, you pay half when the match is made and half when the adoption is complete. This covers the foreign lawyer or agency's fee for translation, legal work, foster care, medical care and disbursements.
Then there are your expenses in Canada and abroad, such as air fare, hotel and meals.
A survey of the cost quoted in 2005 by Canadian adoption agencies showed that the range of costs for 25 countries is $10,000 to $35,000.
The average cost for a private adoption is between four thousand and thirty thousand dollars.
Domestic private adoptions can cost anywhere in that price range. There are cases where a domestic adoption can cost less. Special needs children for example may cost less to adopt.
International adoptions tend to run from about twelve or fifteen thousand to about thirty. But the cost usually includes agency fees, travel expenses and CIS (formerly called the INS) fees, as well as the fees required by the country from which you are adopting.

There are also government subsidies for those who adopt special needs children who meet certain qualifications.
After having spent many months researching adoption, I have learned that the cost of an adoption depends on several factors. The costs can range from next to nothing to tens of thousands of dollars
First is the type of adoption: private adoption, special needs adoption, intercountry adoption, etc.
Special needs adoptions are often the least expensive because most states offer adoption subsidies. The Federal government might also offer special subsidies.
Domestic adoptions are not necessarily less expensive than International adoptions though it may seem to be the logical conclusion.
International Adoption fees and costs vary widely depending on country, agency and travel requirements.
With private adoptions, you may end up paying for prenatal care, as well as the costs of the mother's hospital stay and related expenses.
So to answer the question: there really ''is no definitive answer'' to such a general question.
Domestic adoption through foster care has few, if any, costs attached. In fact, foster adoption may come with some financial support for the child, including medical coverage.
Sorry, What do you mean? It does not cost to adopt a child, you cannot buy them!
The cost for having children for adoption is your love ....
Yes, the lawyer etc cost a lot.
the reason why adopting a pet is so expensive = its because there are being feed and taken care on somebody else's time and money; on till they can find another family that wants to take care of it . and plus they all are vaccinated so really u just paying for its shoots and its time being spend at the adoption shop or what ever

Yes unfortunately it often costs a great deal. You must hire attorneys and pay court and adoption fees. International adoption can be up to 20,000 dollars. It doesn't seem right, but this is the way it is.
now-a-days it happens online, then you travel to the birth country to pick the child up. it is usually more expensive ($50,000)

Adoption - 2002 Adoption 1-1 was released on: USA: 1 June 2002
Both adoption and surrogacy have a wide range of costs.Adoption through the foster care system is generally the cheapest; almost all of the fees involved are paid by the state.Altruistic surrogacy is where the birth mother does not receive compensation other than medical/other reasonable expenses care during the pregnancy. This can be cheaper than private adoption (but may not be)Private adoption (whether domestic or international) can have a wide variety of costs.Surrogacy can also carry a fee in addition to the reasonable medical or other expenses.
When a person is considering adoption. he or she should look for an adoption agency with a good reputation. They should include open adoption as an option, and provide information about legal rights.
It is not always possible to rescind an adoption. If an adoption has already gone through, you cannot rescind it.
When you adopt without an adoption agency it is called a private adoption.
In order to keep international adoptions safe and legal for children, there needs to be lots of oversight from both governments: where the child comes from, and where the adoptive parents live. This oversight is expensive, and the burden for that falls on the adoptive parents. The cost for this oversight helps to ensure that children are not sold or stolen, although this still happens in many parts of the world. US adoption of children in the foster system is not expensive, and in some states, your costs for adoption are covered by the child welfare system. If you are concerned with financing, this may be a better option for you.
