That is a great question. I recently was looking at an agency in CA for Russian adoption. Their site stated the program fee was $19,000, but then went on to list all of the things that were "extras" to the program fee. Things like BCIS app, fingerprinting, home study, travel, lodging, driver/interpreter, post-placement, etc. I thought this was ridiculous! Currently I am researching independent Ukraine adoption. I'm told the typical fee is $11,000-13,000 to adopt 1 child and $13,000-16,000 for 2 children. ?????? Why should I pay $20,000-30,000 when I don't need to? Someone explained that the large fee was for the agency director to drive a Corvette and live in a million dollar house... ha ha ha I'm sure that's not totally accurate, but it sure feels like it! Well, good luck to you in finding an affordable adoption!
