Adoption Process
International Adoption is a very complicated and at the same time is a very rewarding process. Thousands and thousands families adopt every year from overseas. Orphans Adoption is proud to be part of this exciting process and making some ground braking changes in the way it’s done. Our agency solely focuses on the family and its needs rather then simply on the paperwork alone like many other agencies do. We stay close to our families through the whole process of international adoption from start to very end. From your fist phone call or email to Orphans Adoption you will be working with a live person and will be able to talk on the phone with a live person whenever you needed in order to resolve any obstacles or confusions (we are not supporting automated phone services, and if you call us during business hours there always be a live person answering your phone on the other side with the greeting from Orphans Adoption).

State Laws and Fees

Since adoption is governed by state statute, each state makes its own laws, and each agency or other entity assisting in the adoption process sets its own fees for adoption services.

Unfortunately, at this time, there is no central rating service that checks on adoption agencies. You can call your local Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against a particular agency or adoption intermediary. In addition, your state or county social services department should be able to provide you with the name of the government entity that oversees adoption to verify the reputation of an adoption agency or intermediary.

Be Advised:

  • Compare adoption fees among adoption agencies, adoption attorneys, or other adoption intermediaries
  • Clarify up front, in writing, exactly what the stated adoption fee will and will not cover. Some agencies or intermediaries may quote a fee, but later add other charges, such as post-placement fees and court costs
  • Ask about the payment plan. DO NOT pay 100 percent of the adoption costs in advance. Payments should be made as each step of the agency's or attorney's services are provided
  • Be wary of agencies or intermediaries that charge high fees, want a retainer paid in full upon application without any provisions for a refund, guarantee a child, or want you to sign disclaimers before meetings or searching for a child for you

Dependency Exemption

Adoptive parents may take the same dependency exemption on their income taxes for their adopted children, and children placed with them for adoption but not yet finalized, as they would for their biological children. The exemption reduces their taxable income. The amount of the dependent exemption is adjusted annually to reflect the cost of living. The main point to remember is that families must provide more than half of their children's support to list them as exemptions. Some adopted children come with subsidies, which may provide more than half of their support. For example: if a child receives $5,000 a year in subsidies, the adoptive family must provide $5,001 or more a year to claim the child as an exemption. »read more
