Financial Resources

We understand that for most families, adoption is a significant financial undertaking. Our fee agreements (which can be found here: Barker Fee Agreements – All Programs) are broken into steps, allowing you to get a sense of when in the process each of the fees is due.  We hope this information will better allow you to plan and budget for your adoption journey.  

Adoption fees have a wide range, and we know how stressful that can be.  Most adoption processes in international programs have fees spread out over a 24-48 month period, but domestic programs can be shorter.  We have created this page to ensure that your family has the resources you need in order to build your family through the program that is best for you. The options listed below have been compiled through staff research, suggestions from partner agencies, and suggestions from Barker families who have used these resources to build their families.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions!

Please note that as the status of foundations and organizations is ever-changing, the below information may not always be the most current. In order to receive the most up to date information regarding these financial resources, please reach out to them directly.
