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.
