I guess my adoptions didn't fit the national norm. I'm a single parent and it wasn't a lengthy or expensive process.
For the first adoption, it was a six month wait and the total cost (including homestudy, agency fee and court costs) was less than $1600.00 (which I paid from my savings acct).
My second adoption took less than 2 months and cost $2975.00 (including agency fees, post placement fees and attorney/court costs). My company reimbursed my adoption costs for this adoption. I had to pay up front & submit a claim.
