There are so many varibles in everyone's adoptions. Airfare is a killer for ALL of us right now doing adoptions. Horrific. On average, I'd say most people are now spending around $35K for an infant. I can't relate b/c we've never done an infant adoption as of yet. I put their ages at time of adoption in parenthesis. Here's what we have spent though:
Irina(6) and Max(4)-- $20K for both-- everything included
Yana(8) and Alex(3)-- $28K for both-- everything included
Bojan(6)-- $12K for him--- everything included
Next child in process right now (not an infant)-- guesstimating costs of $12K to $17K depending upon airfare.
Child after that (infant)-- $5K total, everything included.
So as you can see, prices vary. Mine that have already been adopted were older. That makes a huge difference. Also, definitely cheaper to do 2 at once than one at once typically. Good luck. Plan for the worst as far as costs go and hope for the best. That way, no suprises.
Good luck,
