  • Placing Agency’s fees
  • Country fees
  • Criminal history fees - currently $60.25 fingerprints, $10 for CARI’s
  • USCIS fees
  • Travel fees
  • Post-placement report fees
  • Re-adoption fees (re-adoption is not required but is recommended)

While it is impossible to know exactly how much your international adoption will total, estimated costs can be determined by both your home study and placing agencies.
