Adoption Costs

Travel

Travel is defined as the professionals expenses charged to travel for counseling, case management, or to transport the birth parents. Most professionals charge a fixed hourly travel charge when they are traveling to provide services. If some cases, there are travel charges if the birth parents need taxi services to doctor's appointments, etc.

Facilitators- They do not handle this part of the process; it is the adoptive family's responsibility.

Other professionals - They will usually indicate their hourly charge. When choosing a professional, it is important to understand their hourly charges.

American Adoptions' Advantages

Choosing an adoption agency to help make your wish of expanding your family come true is an important decision. In our years of talking to and working with thousands of families, we have learned the things most important to adoptive clients:

Families are concerned about waiting times.
Clients don’t want to endure many, or any, emotional or financial disappointments from adoptions that don’t work out.
Families want to set a budget for their adoption and don’t want to have a bunch of variable, hidden or at-risk expenses.
Every family wants to pay as little as possible, without sacrificing safety, time or service.
Most clients want a healthy child with no special needs.
Most families have race, age and/or gender preferences.
Some clients want to help children overseas.
Most families are concerned about birth parents changing their minds or countries closing their operations.
Most want to work with an experienced professional who can guide and protect them through the adoption process.
All families want to join an organization that is reliable, safe and stable.

Knowing what is important, we have worked to build an adoption agency that addresses these needs and concerns. Here is how American Adoptions can help you:
