Adopting from foster care is one of the most affordable ways to grow your family through adoption. The cost of foster care adoption will vary depending on how you adopt. Using a private agency like Adoptions Together will cost more than pursuing a foster care adoption through a public child welfare agency, but families will feel a greater sense of preparedness and support.
Foster Care Adoption Training is a requirement in the foster care adoption process which helps adoptive parents understand the unique joys and challenges of adopting from foster care. Our foster care adoption program facilitates the placement of children of all ages who are growing up in the public foster care system throughout the country.
