"They told us eighteen to thirty months and it took twenty-six. Every fee matched the packet from day one. In a process this uncertain, their honesty was the ground we stood on."
Adoptive parents · matched 2024Foster-to-adopt: usually under $3,000, often reimbursed. Domestic infant through our program: $28,000–$38,000 all-in, itemized on page one of the packet. International varies by country; we publish each program's range. If a fee isn't in the packet, you don't owe it.
Domestic infant matches have ranged 8–40 months here; the median is 22. Anyone quoting you a guaranteed timeline is selling something. What we guarantee is honest reporting of where you are in the process, monthly.
Our placements include single parents, LGBTQ+ couples, older parents, and renters. Expectant parents choose — and they choose all kinds of families. The home study measures readiness, not resemblance to a catalog.
Whatever the match agrees to — from letters once a year to regular visits. Openness is a spectrum set by both families with counselor support, and our post-placement team helps it evolve as the child grows.
