Is it possible to do a domestic adoption with an agency for under $20,000? If so please let me know and please PM me the agencies. Thanks in advance!!
Yes, but you would most likely have to do your own Outreach and Networking!!
Also, I have a question please??
Are you also at the same time figuring or calculating the Birthmom's Prenatal Care, Hospitalization for the Delivery, and both yours and her Legal Representation in your $20,000 figure as well also??
That is where the expense is my Friend!!

Yes it's possible. You'd have to do your own outreach and networking for sure. You should also expect it to take a longer time.
I'm not sure if you can do it with an agency for less than 20k, but you can do a private adoption through an attorney, where you found the emom yourself, for less than that for sure.
It also depends on your parameters. If you are open to special needs, there are at least a couple of special needs-specific programs that are less. Kids would likely have either significant substance exposure, medical issues, congenital abnormalities, or significant family history of mental illness. If you are interested in information about the programs, send me a pm and I will pass on what I know.
It is possible, but rare. An independent adoption, using an attorney, may be less expensive, but not necessarily. (All adoptions that are not from foster care are private. Adoptions that do not use an agency are private independent adoptions.)
