The high cost of infant adoption can keep people from starting the process of building a family. It doesn’t have to be this way. Thousands of people (just like you) adopt EVERY YEAR, despite the high cost. There are many ways to fund your adoption. Today, we will give you 6 Creative Ways To Fund Your Adoption.
Even though adoption can be expensive, now is a great time to adopt AND do it without debt. With so much information all over the internet, it can be tough to find good and even creative resources to help you fund your adoption.
After starting the Infant Adoption Guide blog and podcast several years ago, I’ve been able to talk with many adoption experts, agencies, consultants, authors and adoptive families. I’ve heard tons of stories and examples of how others have funded their adoptions. These 6 ways are not the only ways, but some of the best ones I’ve heard and seen work, which is why I want to share them with you.
So, here are the 6 Creative Ways To Fund Your Adoption:
1. BothHands.org (an amazing way to serve and raise funds for your adoption)
2. Adoption grants (how and where to get free money to pay for your adoption expenses!)
3. Crowdfunding (getting others to help you – and yes, this does work and can work well!)
4. Personal savings (using what you have and can build in a short amount of time)
5. Fundraising Events (getting creative with fun ways to raise money for your adoption)
6. Selling Other People’s Stuff (you’d be surprised what people are willing to give you to sell)
