    There are so many factors here..what kind of adoption are you doing, are you using an agency or doing independent adoption with an attorney, what state are you in?

    In total we spent $23k. Because of the tax credits (both federal and our state), we got $19k back in refunds.

    We adopted from Peru twice, each time for about $40,000. Definitely not the cheapest route, but it was the right path for our family.

    Your employer may also offer adoption reimbursement
