My husband and i have adopted 3 children through the foster care system and 2 through our state adoption program. We never had to pay a cent. If foster care is not something u want to pursue contact your local department of human services and tell them u would like to talk to someone about adoption only. they will be very helpful b/c right now there are a ton of kids waiting to be adopted through the state. In Oklahoma, where i'm from, there is something like 8,000 kids in foster care or group homes who are ready to be adopted. it took us a total of 4 months from the time we filled out our application to the time we got our first kids. so it can be a lot faster than going through a private agency.
Don't let ignorant people get u down b/c u don't want to pay thousands of dollars to give away ur love. i would much rather spend that money on my new family!!!
Good Luck!!!

Through the foster care system. If you are willing to take a risk it is definitely possible to adopt infants that way. We became foster parents 1 1/2 years ago and we have already taken in 2 newborns straight from the hospital. Our first foster child was up for adoption by 2 months of age and the second is currently in the process. I also have a friend who adopted her 3 children as newborns through foster care. So there are infants. Good luck!

There is nothing wrong with asking the cost of adoption. Some people would make very good parents and have no problems caring financially for a child. It just may be that it is hard to come up with several thousands all at once. Should not judge without knowing people.

The cheapest way to adopt a child is likley through the foster care system. However you’re more likely to end up with an older child and not an infant. Say a kid that’s maybe over a year old sometimes even already in grade school. That’s not to say that one couldn’t adopt an infant out of FC but your just more likley to end up with an older child.
Even if you came upon someone online who wanted to give you their birthchild, you’d still have to go through the adoption process of paper work etc. You’d likely have to hire an attorney and that would probably fall under Private adoption which is one of the most costly forms of adoption . They couldn’t just hand you over the baby and that be that, in fact they’d want to know some things about you. If you can’t afford an adoption they may be concerned if you could even financial provide for the child, children are not cheap.
As far what the above poster said, not all birthparents seek open or semi open adoption. Do you see it more nowadays? Yes. However from what I have read very few states actual enforce these ‘open’ adoptions.. What it really comes down to is if you don’t want to be involved in an open adoption then don’t be because there are plenty of birthparents who don’t go that route. The poster makes it seem you have to be overly rich to adopt this is also not true. Grant it if you’re living in poverty their not going to give you a child, but if you can at least provide the essentials

People are beating the original poster down. STOP THAT! Who seriously has $30,000 or more just sitting around but would be incredible parents. I am one of those. It is wrong to me, that all the children that need and want parents are sitting around waiting when there are so many people who would love to adopt but are afraid of the cost. Asking if there is a "cheaper" way is a smart thing to do. That leaves more of there savings to spend on the child when he/she joins their family. It is nuts how much it costs. It IS selling a baby when they charge so much.

Foster care. Most of the children are older, but some infants are placed through fostering if you are willing to foster a baby whose availability is not certain at birth.
You need to be very careful about soliciting for a child on public forums. You are making yourself very vulnerable to emotional and financial scams. Also, if you do not seek the advice of an attorney and take care of all of the legalities, you are putting yourself at risk to lose the child down the road if the parents change their mind. Just be careful.

i would foster a child with a view to adotion. that way you would also receive financial assistance until the adoption is complete as well. i was adopted into a family with little money,but as long as there is love and laughter in the home,thats all that matters!

I have some friends that are so anxious to adopt a baby, great people, established, financially comfortable but by no means wealthy. They have fostered twice and had their hearts broken when the babies were adopted out from under them. And don't really want to get their hopes high again just to have their hearts walk out the door again. And I can certainly understand not wanting to pay multiple thousands of dollars that could be better spent on the child of their dreams rather than red tape. It is very sad that so many children are wanted, and being bounced in the foster care system, rather then giving them a home and a wonderful life, as well as the parents who want them so badly
