Financial Assistance in Adoption

There are expenses common to most adoptions as well as those unique to adoption of some children who are in the state's foster care system awaiting adoption. For individuals looking to adopt, they may wish to talk to a licensed adoption agency with whom they are working regarding possible financial options that may be available to them when adopting or in post adoption matters.

The National Endowment for Financial Education website at www.nefe.org offers some helpful information on financial planning for adoption.

Families who are planning to adopt children who are permanent state wards (children in the state's foster care system) or court wards may want to view our Adoption Subsidy information.
