Four Reasons Why is Adoption so Expensive

COUNTRY

The Hague Convention was enacted by the UN in an attempt to thwart corruption and trafficking. Its goal is to preserve the right of children living as orphans to experience the love and protection of a family through adoption. Under the convention, each country has its own program to place children internationally and determines its own adoption fees. For families living in the US and adopting abroad, they can expect to pay fees for processing federal forms and paperwork as well as adoption fees for the specific country they are adopting through. With each country determining different fees and program costs, this area of expense can vary widely.
