Nika	Posted: Feb 09, 2005 04:14:09 PM I am a student and I am writing a paper on Adoption. This topic interests me because I am unable to have children. So, I am able to gain something from this experience. If you have input on adopting or giving a child up for adoption, I am interested in hearing from you. Thanks for your time. Nika

The Costs of Adopting

Many couples are often overwhelmed by the cost when they begin looking into adoption. There are many factors that contribute to the cost of an adoption, including the cost of the necessary legal work, advertising fees, travel expenses, etc.

Both domestic and international adoption have their own unique costs. For example, couples adopting domestically will not have to worry about the cost of a visa, which couples adopting internationally much budget for. Likewise, couples adopting domestically may be asked to provide living expenses for the expectant mother, such as help with rent or utility payments, an expense that is not typically seen in international adoptions.
