When we adopted Ryan, our total expenses (including agency, legals, travel - multiple trips, lodging, advertising, etc.) was $14,000. We spent 17 days after Ryan was born waiting for ICPC to clear.

We actually spent more in fees and expenses than any other family in our playgroup/support group. The rest were all well under $10,000.

HTH,

Regina, AMom to Ryan Joshua Thomas
