Funding Your Adoption
It is possible to make your adoption affordable. A Helping Hand will partner with you to explore all options, and help make it happen. Some Helping Hand clients have fully funded their adoption through no-interest loans, grants, tax credits, and fundraising!
Here is an example of how a typical couple could fund an adoption from Russia, which could cost about $42,000, but may only require $9,000 out of pocket expenses. Click on the links below to learn more about each source of funding.
