How expensive is it to adopt through the foster care system?
There are very limited costs to adopt through the foster care system. At Camelot, each adoptive family will pay $36.00 per person for the processing of background checks. Each child adopted through the foster care system qualifies for Medicaid until the age of 18; tuition reimbursement for any Florida accredited university, community college, or trade school; and up to $1,000.00 in non-recurring adoption expenses. In addition, some children may qualify for a monthly subsidy up to 80% of their foster care board rate.
