  • Adopting a child from foster care can be a fulfilling and life-changing experience. The cost to adopt from a foster home can start as low as $2,500, depending on various factors such as location, agency fees, and legal expenses. It’s important to note that there are very few infants available for adoption through foster care.

    Most children available for adoption through the foster care system are typically older, ranging in age from 3 to 18 years old. Providing a loving and permanent home for these children can be incredibly rewarding.

    There are many children currently in foster care waiting for a forever home. Please take a moment to review the state photo lists linked below, which feature children seeking adoptive families.
