Since I didn't look into domestic for myself, I could only rely on the national averages found on the net (and of course I can't find those sites now). $45-60k does seem excessively high to me, too. I'm *glad* those numbers are off.</p> http://austinist.com/2006/08/23/bun_in_the_oven_adoptorama.php#comment-316154 http://austinist.com/2006/08/23/bun_in_the_oven_adoptorama.php#comment-316154 Comments Wed, 23 Aug 2006 21:10:12 -0600 <p>Just an FYI, the dollar figure you quote for domestic adoptions is very high - roughly twice what it should be (before tax credits). And that's not taking into account that many agencies reduce this cost further for those with lower incomes. In the end, good agencies are about building families, and to that end they will find ways to make the expenses get taken care of.</p>
