Type a search for adoption grants. There is also a $10,000 federal adoption tax credit that will help you recoup some of your expenses. Some states also have a tax credit depending on the type of adoption (international, special needs). Adoption is something that you want to do the right (legal) way not the cheap way. I suggest using an agency, I speak from experience 2 times over. It always boggles me that someone would cringe at paying $20,000 in adoption fees but will pay $30,000 for a new car. You have to decide what your priorities are and how bad you want this.

Go through a religious adoption agency. You'll get wonderful support, but be sure to have an attorney who specializes in adoption so that there are no flaws in the paper work. Adoption is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

If you are a Lutheran, you can adopt through Lutheran Social Services, and it's much less expensive. I know there's a Catholic Social Services too, but don't know if they do the same things.

check with the State that you live in. Most states have adoption programs that cost under 5K.

Does your employer offer adoption benefits?
