PATHS TO HOME · ADOPTION FUNDING
Every child deserves a loving home.
Cost shouldn’t be what decides.
Adoption is an act of extraordinary love. It is also, in Canada, an act that can cost $15,000 to $50,000 or more — before a child ever comes home.
The Problem
The cost of love should never be $50,000.
Typical cost of adoption in Canada before a child comes home
In Canada, adoption costs between $15,000 and $50,000 or more. For many families, that is simply impossible.
Legal fees. Home studies. Agency fees. Travel. Court costs. The costs of adoption are real, significant, and front-loaded — which means that willing, loving families are turned away not because they can’t parent, but because they can’t pay.
“This cause is close to my heart. I’ve always believed that children deserve loving homes, and that willing parents should never have to go into debt to make that happen. The Paths to Home fund is personal.”
