Answer If you go through the Department of children and families, they help with the expenses. In Iowa I know all that you pay is time to register to be an adoptive parent by going to classes, background check, and home study. Then when a child or children are found and you think it is a match you wish to make permanent, they will help you adopt the child(s) what ever it takes. My suggestion for you being an adoptive parent, is to become a foster parent too. There is no extra classes, but in you at least get to have the child in the home to see if they are a fit for your family. We had about 20 foster children and we adopted the last 2 children that was placed in our home. There was a few we thought was a fit, and turned out to be just to much for our family.

I can only fill you in on the requirements of my state (KY), but I'm sure they are similar in most states. First there are a couple of avenues you can go about adoption. You can work with your state agency, private agencies or overseas agencies. I will warn you if you are wanting a baby your best bet is an overseas agency, however the price to do an adoption with most of them will be around $30,000. If you are willing to adopt an older child state or private agency are available to help. To become a state/private adoptive parent in Kentucky you must first go through 30 hours of pre-service training which teaches some parenting skills, the type of children available for adoption, the lives the children have lived before being removed from their homes, etc. During this training a homestudy and background check is completed to verify you are not a felon and that your home is a safe environment to raise a child. Then you are approved. At that time a child may be placed in your home. The big difference between state and private is the cost. There is no cost to adopt through the state and you are often given a subsidy (monetary assistance) if you adopt a special needs child (this could be a teen, sibling group, minority or child with medical or behavioral issues). With the private this is a cost and little monetary assistance. Most states also will require you to be 21, have a safe home, have a bedroom for the child, be able to pay for your household bills without assitance, and have good mental health. You can be married, single or have a life partner. You can be older. You do NOT have to own a home. _______________________________________
