The cost of adoption is a sensitive subject.

We hear about how expensive it is and it can be difficult to understand why.

Here is the truth. In domestic infant adoption, lots of people are needed to help make sure the safe placement of a child happens with the right family.

See the emphasis on safe placement and the right family?

There is so much that goes into making this happen.

Hopeful adoptive families need adoption professionals – agencies and/or attorneys to help them go through the process. There are costs involved with getting this help, and that’s what we are talking about today – the cost of adoption.

We have a great discussion with Cheri Williams, who is a Regional Director with Bethany Christian Services. She oversees operations in Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Cheri is passionate about serving children and families in need and has worked in the child welfare field for nearly 18 years.

She has extensive experience in the areas of child protection, foster care, and adoption. Cheri earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Family and Child Sciences from The Florida State University, and her Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Troy University.

Cheri and I will break down the costs, what they are, why you need them, and how to afford them. This is a big topic, I know.

We are going to especially talk about what to expect, and we’ll give you the tips/resources you need to understand the cost from the adoption professional you choose.

What you will learn about in this episode:

  • Why does it cost so much to adopt a baby, especially when the cost of foster care adoption is minimal?
  • What are the costs that hopeful adoptive families can expect?
  • Find out what questions to ask an agency or attorney to find out their fees and what they cover.
  • How to reduce or eliminate the financial risk if an expectant mother decides to parent.
  • Hear a story about a family who successfully adopted while having to come up with a larger sum for their adoption plans.
  • AND MUCH MORE!
