Intercountry adoption is likely to be more expensive than adopting in the UK. The costs include any agency fees and travelling to and from the child’s home country. Unlike UK adoptions, there is no funding for families looking to adopt from overseas and you will need to pay for your assessment costs yourself. For example, The International Adoption Centre estimates that it costs around £10,000 to £15,000 to adopt from abroad. The child’s home country may also have charges to process the adoption paperwork.
There will also be your legal costs. At your initial meeting with us, we can provide advice about our flexible fee structures so that you can get an accurate idea of how much the adoption will cost. Please get in touch to request a tailored quote.
