Expense Calculator

**This calculator is meant to help you estimate your potential fees and in no way guarantees the costs associated with your individual adoption.  There are additional costs associated with the home study.  These costs vary with each person based on your location as well as the number of people in your home and are not included in the below estimate. For a more detailed list of fees and when they are due, please view our Information Packet or contact our Domestic Adoption Team domestic@adoptionstogether.org

Domestic Adoption Program Fees

To enter the Domestic Program for placement services: 

• Clients pay 25% of the placement fee. The program deposit is nonrefundable, and is applied toward the placement fee.  At the time an infant is placed with an adoptive family, the remaining fees will be due.

• The placement fee is on a sliding scale and is set according to net worth, if self employed, or gross annual income and additional financial information as established at home study.

 
Fees for clients residing in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.* 

**All fees are subject to change without notice. Fees are effective January 1, 2010

It is the policy of Adoptions Together that adoption should be available to families from a broad socio-economic range. The goal of the agency is to help families explore their resources and overcome those obstacles.  

*DC resident fees are based on per capita income for a family of five. Each additional family member will reduce the fee by 5% per member.
