Adopt a child in California? Any info?

Question

I am thinking of adopting a child permanently and I live in California. Has anyone done this in this state? What are the requirements and fees involved? Please help

Answer 1

Depending on which way you go. You can hire a attorney to help your find a birth mother who selects you ( could be in the 25- 30K range ). or you could adopt international ( 20K - 50K ).

Or you could do what my wife and are doing, adopt through your county. In CA you pay some little fees like 50-100 dollars. You must become a licensed foster parent ( all the training, which is quite helpful ) Then your placed with a child and are paid a monthly subside for that child until he or she turns 18. and yes you can adopt infants, but the wait is much longer.
