Adoption Fees

The subject of adoption is a very serious one; with it comes fears, concerns, and anticipated joys. Selecting the right resource for your adoption is important to your overall adoption experience. At Catholic Charities, we recognize that the costs of an adoption are often formidable, may not be covered by insurance, and may create challenges for many families. Because of this issue, we believe it is important for you, as an adoptive family, to know how your dollars are invested in this process.

There are several factors that have some bearing on the expense of adoption, especially when working with an agency. Our organization is a non-profit agency, meaning our services are not motivated by profit; contributions and grants help us reduce costs as much as possible. We strive to provide a moral and valuable service to all those who are interested.

Upon entering our programs, you gain the advantages of respectability, continuity, broader connections, supervision, and support services. However, with these advantages come the responsibility of covering overhead expenses; by spreading these expenses and other incidental expenditures across the entire pool of families, no single family bears the burden of extraordinarily expensive adoption. This pooling of resources is one of the benefits of working with an agency such as ours. In addition, this agency is certified by the National Council on Accreditation to guarantee that best practice standards are being followed. We must work hard and be proactive to offer high-quality program services.
