Did you mean 'who pays for an adoption'? If so, the answer is "it depends."

In Minnesota, for example, all adoption fees are covered by the state if the parent adopts a child from the foster care system.

In the case of a non-foster care adoption, the adoptive parents pay the costs themselves. When I adopted, I took advantage of the adoption tax credit, which meant I could claim those expenses - up to a certain amount - on my taxes. That way I did get some (but not all) of the money back as a tax refund.

The person placing a child for adoption does not bear any financial costs.

People find many creative ways to offset adoption costs, including asking their church family for donations, selling crafts, taking out loans, getting assistance from employers (some employers offer financial assistance), applying for grants, etc.

What would be some differences between a state-funded child placement agency and a private adoption agency?

Fees and cost. You will pay more in a private agency than a state-funded agency. State-funding provides alot of the extra fees so that your cost is minimal (if any).Age of the child. A child in a state-funded agency is more likely to be within the ages of 3-12. Where as private agencies are more likely to have a better chance of getting an infant-3 years.Abuse. State-funded agencies typically have children that have been abused in some sense. State-funded agencies like Child Protective Services(CPS in many states) is designed to help children that are abused. Private agencies have a lot more funding (your money) to find mothers and pregnant women simply unable to provide for their children.Also, State-funded agencies such as CPS are not designed to take kids away from families, but rather to help families with problems to resolve issues and provide for the children. If in cases where this isn't possible, then and only then do they seek adoption for the child(ren).
