What is the average cost of adopting through Bright Futures?
The average cost of adopting through Bright Futures ranges from $20,000 to $28,000. The total cost of adopting through Bright Futures depends on a variety of factors, including the specific financial needs of the birth parents, the location of the birth parents, and your ability to pay. For example, adoptive parents working with a birth mother in a far away state will have increased travel expenses and the cost of an out-of-state agency providing services to the birth mother. Adoptive parents working with a birth mother who does not have medical insurance will have doctor’s and hospital bills to add to their adoption expenses. At your Initial Educational Consultation, Bright Futures will work with you to determine an adoption budget that is reasonable for you. The adoption budget you set will be the upper limit for your adoption and Bright Futures will do its best to match you with birth parents whose needs match your budget.
