• According to The Child Welfare Information Gateway adopting a child in the United States costs approximately $45,000. This cost should not scare parents from attempting to adopt. It is important to remember that the cost varies depending upon how the parents choose to adopt. Also, there are grant programs available to help with the cost of adoption. Parents may choose to adopt a newborn, a child in foster care, or an international child and the price varies for each.
