Foreign Program Fees
Foreign program fees are not all due at once! Many are paid in segments: 1/3 due at the time you submit your dossier to the foreign governement, 1/3 due at the time you accept a child referral and 1/3 due at the time you travel to pick up your child. The time frames at which each portion is due depends on the timing for the program you are adopting through.

In order to get the most current foreign program fees, request our free International Information Packet or our free Domestic Information Packet. In our information packet all fees for each program will be outlined including any estimated travel fees. We have no hidden fees and we strive to give you accurate and up front information on international adoption and adoption services.
