We are going through the foster care system So it is 100% free. The state picks up bill. We also get a 13000 dollar tax credit for the adoption. This is not the reason we chose foster care adoption but it will help. The Children in foster care are older. Most of them above the age of 5 and they have trouble past will need some extra TLC. But I wan to be a Mom and maybe that doesn't mean a baby but I can still give a child a a forever home.
