The Money section of US News and World Report published an article recently covering the different types of adoption and typical costs associated with each type. Also included in the article were practical ideas for how to finance an adoption.
Some of the suggestions of note for affording adoption include the following:
- Employer benefits
- Adoption tax credit
- Adoption grants
- Crowdfunding
- Adoption or home equity loans
