International Adoption is a very complicated and at
the same time is a very rewarding process. Thousands and thousands
families adopt every year from overseas. Orphans Adoption is proud
to be part of this exciting process and making some ground braking
changes in the way it’s done. Our agency solely focuses on the
family and its needs rather then simply on the paperwork alone like
many other agencies do. We stay close to our families through the
whole process of international adoption from start to very end.
From your fist phone call or email to Orphans Adoption you will be
working with a live person and will be able to talk on the phone
with a live person whenever you needed in order to resolve any
obstacles or confusions (we are not supporting automated phone
services, and if you call us during business hours there always be
a live person answering your phone on the other side with the
greeting from Orphans Adoption).

Adoption Fees
Fees charged by private adoption agencies and intermediaries can run from $5,000 to as high as $25,000, and possibly more. BE SURE you understand which services in the adoption process are included and which may be separate or additional fees.
Miscellaneous Expenses
During the adoption process, activities will arise that will result in out-of-pocket expenses. Although these costs usually are minor, it's best to be prepared for them. For example:
- Traveling to and from the agency or lawyer's office
- Completing and photocopying records and other paperwork
- Taking time off work for interviews and so on
- Obtaining shots, passports, etc., if international travel is necessary
- Arranging for childcare for any children you already have. »read more

-
Compare adoption fees among adoption agencies, adoption attorneys, or other adoption intermediaries
-
Clarify up front, in writing, exactly what the stated adoption fee will and will not cover. Some agencies or intermediaries may quote a fee, but later add other charges, such as post-placement fees and court costs
-
Ask about the payment plan. DO NOT pay 100 percent of the adoption costs in advance. Payments should be made as each step of the agency's or attorney's services are provided
-
Be wary of agencies or intermediaries that charge high fees, want a retainer paid in full upon application without any provisions for a refund, guarantee a child, or want you to sign disclaimers before meetings or searching for a child for you. »read more
