Typically, domestic infant adoption costs anywhere between $20,000 to $40,000, including the home study, counseling for potential birth parents and adoptive parents, medical expenses, and foster care, if needed. We are really thankful to say that our agency provides amazing services for birth parents and adoptive parents.
Our estimated adoption costs will be around $30,000-$35,000 ... not to mention all of the baby stuff (car seat, formula, clothes, diapers, etc) that we will need on top of the adoption costs.
With that in mind, we are officially launching our first adoption fundraiser. We have purchased a beautiful, custom made, wooden tree of life (similar to the one in the picture) from Totally Salinda's Etsy shop. Salinda has agreed to send us the bottom part with the baby's name and birthday after the baby is born. As for the tree and leaves, they should be headed to our house very soon!
Each leaf is "for sale" for a $25 donation. When you donate, we will add your name to a leaf. The tree will hang in the baby's room and be a constant reminder of the people who helped play a part in bringing new life into our family.
If you'd like to have your name on a leaf, you can send us a donation to "buy a leaf" that will go towards the adoption costs and we will add your name to the tree. Since the donations will be coming directly to us, they will not be tax deductible. Thanks in advance for your support! We are thrilled to share this journey with you!
