Estimated China Adoption Expenses

First I would like to thank all the people who helped me to gather this info for you especially Louise. Here is a link to her blog... www.adoptablewaitingchild.com.

The estimated adoption expenses for China are listed below:
~Application Fee = $250
~Agency Fees = $15,000
~Estimated Travel Fees = $8,000
~Home study =$2500

~Govt. fees/forms/fingerprints = $2000

~Estimated Adoption Donation = $5,700

~Total Estimated Fees = $33450

 And...

~Estimated post placement reports = $2400.00

The total cost is estimated to be somewhere between $28,000 and $35,000.

 

Additional info From Louise...

 

The biggest variable in the cost being higher is really two things.  1).  when you have approval to travel to your child/ren.  (Our fist adoption out Int'l flts costs were 981.00pp, our others were 2800.00pp - time of year is such a big factor and China also has a lot of holidays and tradeshows that can get the price up there too for in-country travel costs)  2).  the added amenities you choose for your adoption.  (we always use an additional service with our agency for dossier preparation which costs a little bit more, but works for us and our busy schedule).

 

She was also kind enough to send a spreadsheet about the requirements in China...
