I have checked out different agencies and have seen a full ranges of fees. I know that international adoptions can be costly so what I'm wondering is..how much is TOO much? Also, there are so many different agencies, how would you rate them?

There are many agencies out there. Some good, others not. You ought to research not only your US/International agency, but research the Indian agencies as well.

One good place to get started is the ICHILD page:

As far as fees are concerned. If, once you have done your research, fees for some agencies seem too high...they probably are!

One other thought...There are some very good agencies with very resonable fees and their India programs are going very well. Don't be fooled into thinking higher fees mean a better program.

I wish you the best in your search,
