Less expensive is possible

Hi Mandy,

We have completed two adoptions, each around $6000. It is possible! The second was attorney facilitated (long story) and so is almost a separate issue. But what I have found is that often smaller agencies will charge less, and though the wait may possibly be a little longer, it is worth it if cost is a factor. Also, being open to any race can really put you at the top of the list and (though I don't necessarily agree with this, but it's reality), minority adoptions are usually significantly less expensive. I will PM you with some specifics on agencies, since I don't think that's allowed publicly. Be encouraged, the right situation is out there for you!

Stephanie
