Important Facts About The Bulgaria Adoption Cost Listed Above
The Bulgaria Adoption Fee Schedule is approximately $21,500 plus € 8,000 including agency fees, application fees, and international fees. Please keep in mind that upon completion of your adoption you would be eligible for an Adoption Tax Credit, which currently is approximately $13,000.
Adopting a sibling group of two will not double the cost. It will increase the cost by approximately $10,500. Most of these will be due as foreign fees. $500 will be due to IAAME – domestically.
If you adopt siblings, the tax credit would double to $26,000.
Parents should keep in mind the fees are spread out throughout the entire process and are not due at once.
These adoption fees are due as parents move through the process. Often times there are several months’ time between when the fees described above are due.
Financing options can help spread the cost down to a monthly payment.
In addition, the fees which are due overseas are due only after the parents have accepted their child and are traveling to meet him/her.
