It generally costs from $0 to $1,000 to adopt a child from a County Foster/Adopt program. These children are often older, but sometimes infants are placed. A voluntary adoption of a newborn through a non-profit agency will generally cost between $10,000 and $25,000.
Agency adoptionsâ costs may be higher because of the amount of support and counseling offered to both adoptive families and birth parents. Adoptive Families Magazine surveyed 1,100 families who adopted a child in 2012-2013 and reported: Average Total Cost: Adoption Agency - $39,966; Independent Adoption - $34,093. Agency Fees/Program Application: Adoption Agency - $16,962; Independent Adoption - $3,357.
