What is the cost to adopt a child from China?
On average the cost is $19,000 to $23,000. The variation in price is based on unknown costs such as airfare, food and lodging prices at the time of travel. Some families choose to upgrade airline seating or hotel room accommodations, which would reflect the higher amounts. AAC makes every effort to keep costs to a minimum.

This amount is subtracted from your tax liabilities. If you have other credits that outweigh your liabilities then the credit may be carried over for future tax benefits for up to five years. Household income limits do apply. For more information on the Adoption Tax Credit please check www.IRS.
