Is there financial assistance for adopting a waiting child?
Through the gifts of generous donors, Bethany has given more than $700,000 to eligible families to help with adoption costs each year for the past three years. Many waiting children are already approved for grants through our partnership agencies, such as Brittany’s Hope Foundation and Forget Me Not Adoption Fund. Some countries may reduce their fees to find homes for waiting children. The Federal Adoption Tax Credit: Please check with your tax consultant about the details of this tax credit. State Tax Credits: Some states provide non-recurring adoption fee reimbursements. Please check with your tax consultant. Employer Assistance: Your employer may offer adoption benefits to their employees. Ask staff in your Human Resources department.
