Is it possible to give someone a baby without all the adoption fees?

why is everybody after a baby. There are so many children of all ages waiting a home. Just look in to foster care. These children need someone. I heard it's less expense and these children need homes.

There really is no simple form of adoption there is paperwork involved in all adoptions/home studies/fees etc. If she is worried about the cost she could adopt from the Foster program or the Foster to adopt program. Adoption from the foster care system is the cheapest form of adoption. She might not get a infant but she will be giving a home to a child that needs one. Though people can get infants or young toddlers via the foster system.

In your question you seem to be suggested you might be your sisters surrogate well even in that case lawyers will have to be hired you’ll need to draw up a surrogacy contract as well as deal with adoption part , so anyway you go your sister will have to pay some sort of fees.

There are ways to avoid outrageous adoption costs if your sister has the web she might want to go to these address

Your sister, at the least, would have to pay lawyer fees for this procedure...and what about the hospital bills if you were to have the child for her. You are a sweet sister, but if would be wise of you, as stated earlier, read up on what mothers who give children up for adoption go through emotionally.

My husband and I are adopting through our state's special needs program. If you go through DHS, the process is free (but you do have to pay attorney fees). We opted to go through an agency and the fee was only $1200 (not counting attorney fees - that's just for the agency). Also, the tax credit for adoption is $10,000 (regardless how much you pay), and if your sister decides to go through an agency for the adoption, the state will reimburse for part of the adoption agency's fee. The process takes a minimum of a year, so I'm sure if your sister scrimps and saves, she could pull off the fees just fine. Then, when tax time comes around, she'll get it all back. Good luck to you both!

Your sister can sign up through the state she lives in to become a foster parent. Depending on the state she can ask to foster a certain age group of children. She can sign up with intent to eventually adopt. Then she is helping children and eventually may end up with a baby or a few that she will love and want to adopt.

It's only that expensive if you adopt through an agency. You can sign parental rights over to your sister just like a normal hearing. Call the social services office in your area. They will be able to tell you exactly what you would have to do.

Speak to an adoption attorney about a private adoption. At the very least she, your sister, would have to pay the attorney for his/her services to legalize the adoption. Other fees could be incurred for counseling and medical for the birth mother depending on her circumstances.

Also a homestudy would have to be completed and paid for as well.

Yes that is possible, especially within a family. If you are carrying her baby than there is definitely no problem. You will have to discuss all this with a lawyer before going through with any of it and that's where the fees get pretty high.

You can be a surrogate for her. Surrogacy laws and procedures are different from adoption laws and procedures.

That said, PLEASE take the time to research the feelings of people who've been relinquished (through adoption AND surrogacy). Right now you seem to be solely thinking about your sister's feelings. It's admirable you want to help her, but there will be a baby involved in this, too... and it's generally best for babies to stay with their natural mothers.

AND... take your own feelings into account. It's not easy, not painless, and not simple to relinquish a child you've carried for nine months.

There are serious, serious repercussions to all of this. Please spend some time learning about the emotional after-effects that can result from this type of arrangement.

There will always be fees, the least expensive route would be to simply go to a trusted lawyer.
