Many people ask us what it is going to cost to adopt from Uganda and what we are paying for. We are a little bit vague when answering this question b/c it's pretty in depth. But in this post, I will give it a shot to help those understand a little better. Note to all those who might stumble on this blog, this is for our agency at this particular time, and can change at any moment.. just FYI :-)
Adoption Fees:
Application Fee - $250
Home Study - $1,300
3 Post Adoption Reports - $750
Professional Service Fee - $4,000
Humanitarian Aid/Orphanage Donation - $400
Uganda Foreign Fee - $4,500
Child's Birth Cert. and Passport - $550
Foster Care Fees - $2,000
In-Country travel fee (for court) - $500
USCIS & fingeringprinting - $975
Adoption Parent Education - $150
Fedex Documents to Uganda - $400
Wire transfer fees - $100
Medical Exam for visa - $110
Child's Visa - $400
Attorney in US to finalize adoption - $2,000
Passports for parents - $270
Airfare - 2 adults - $4,000
Airfare child 0-2yrs - $250
Entrance Visa - $100
Meals and Supplies in country - $1,600
Immunizations - $600
Lodging (4 weeks) - $1,200
Transportation - $1,200 + gas
These fees total over $27,000 - some are approximates that will occur in country, and others will be doubled if there is a brother involved. All fees are based on 1 adopted child.
So, some of those titles will be confusing - but that is a little more insight into what we are looking at...
Thanks for asking, and for reading! :-)
