There is no set range, it varies from person to person depending on circumstances. I feel that a house that has 100k a year and another with 40k a year, due to bills, alimony, or other expenses, they can have the same amount of money to spend.
Situations are different in every household.
A person will be denied if we feel the applicant can afford to adopt on their own, have received monies from us before, or if we feel they can not financially support another child. We will get some guidelines from the DHS of their state. This is not to say we will go by their requirements. There are several answers for this one. To sum it up, I want to help give everyone the opportunity to experience parenthood.
