One of the things that comes up often in our group meetings is the difficulty in financing an adoption. Adoption can be an expensive process. Helpusadopt.org is an organization that provides grants for those who are adopting. They can provide grants up to $15,000. Families must include a valid home study and a copy of their most recent tax return with their completed application and personal statement. If a grant is awarded, funds are released to adoption professionals (adoption lawyers and adoption agencies) when an invoice is due.
They award grants three times a year. For the June cycle, the deadline is April 17, 2015. For the October cycle, the deadline is August 14, 2015.
For more information about helpusadopt.org, applying for their grants or donating to the organization, go to their website.
