Foster-Adoption Is Practically Free!
- Just a note that if you are willing to consider fostering a child for at least 6 months before adopting, adopting a child from foster care is a way to help a child in need and keep the costs of adoption down. There are so many children - newborns, toddlers, school-age and teens - that need a safe and nurturing home! Consider becoming a foster-adopt parent. Contact your local Department of Human Services for more information about becoming a licensed foster-adopt home!
