Other Financing
Nonrecurring Adoption Expense Reimbursement
Families who have finalized the adoption of a child from foster care or another part of a state child welfare system may be able to apply for reimbursement of expenses related to the adoption. Expenses may include Home Study fees, travel expenses, attorney fees, etc. Please contact your local state government for more details.
Bank or Credit Card
Check with the financial institution or credit card company you do business with about the possibility of financing your adoption expenses through a home equity loan or other available low-interest financing.
Family and Friends
Grandparents-to-be may welcome the opportunity to assist you. A short but warm letter to family and friends explaining your adoption endeavors may generate assistance that you did not realize was possible.
Church
Your church community may be delighted to be involved, and there may be assistance available for you.
Frequent Flyer Miles
If part of your adoption expenses includes air travel, you may want to consider contacting a friend or family member who travels extensively to ask him/her to donate frequent flyer miles to you.
