Finally added it all up!
I participated in this poll 2 months ago, guessing that our total was roughly $23000 for our adoption that completed in Sept. 2005. I was close - it was $23009! I did a spreadsheet for tax purposes and here is the breakdown:
Agency fees: 17,979
Gov't fees: 1,222
Travel: 3634
Attorney: 150
Misc: 24
The agency fee went up last year by 2,000, but we were locked in at the lower amount.
We got lucky on travel. On our visit trip we were able to use my husband's Marriott Rewards and stayed free! On our pickup trip, we were able to use frequent flyer miles.
My employer has a legal plan I participate in, so the only legal fees I had to pay were the 150 for the readoption.
