Fees
Effective 4/8/2010 our adoption fees have DECREASED.
Since the earthquake shut down all adoptions and processes - we are basically starting over. For this reason, Chances for Children has decided to return to our old fee from 2008. Effective immediately the fee to adopt form Haiti through Chances for Children will be $10,500.00. While this lower fee does not cover the cost of supporting a child under our care for the full adoption process, we have elected to allocate a portion of our donations to subsidize the monthly operational costs of running the creche. Half of the adoption fee is paid when your dossier is submitted to Haiti and you are referred a child. The second half is paid when your file exits IBESR.
100% of the adoption fee is sent to Haiti. The adoption fee is used to cover a number of costs which include the following:
- all legal fees and legal paperwork and documentation
- all routine medical care provided to the children during their stay in the Crèche
- travel costs of bringing birth parents into court hearings, INS appointments, etc
- psychological evaluations and vaccinations for children
- a small portion of the day to day care of the child
The only additional costs you can expect will be for visa fees, DNA testing and non-routine medical expenses.
Your agency can provide you with a detailed account of the other fees involved in an international adoption.
