Fees will be $1,000 higher for a sibling group and are determined on a case by case basis for adoption of unrelated children. Fees are paid in two parts, the first half with the submission of the international adoption services agreement to Adopolis, the second half is payable following approval of the I-600A or I-800A, as applicable to your case.

Center for Excellence in Adoption Services, Inc. (CEAS)

This fee is paid to Adopolis after your application has been accepted by us and your case has been registered for monitoring by the Center for Excellence in Adoption Services. This fee is set by CEAS and is passed directly to them to cover their oversight.

Home Study:

1. When the home study is prepared by Adopolis for families resident in the District of Columbia or outside the United States. (For foreign residents, travel expenses for required in-person home visits must be included.)

2. When the home study is prepared by a supervised or exempt provider agency for families resident in other states. (A Supervised Provider Agreement must be executed between Adopolis and the other agency.)

Phase II – Foreign Country Fees and Expenses –

Should it become necessary to properly process your adoption plan, you and Adopolis will engage a Supervised Foreign Provider (FSP). The most usual reasons for engaging a Foreign Supervised Provider would be if any of the required six adoption services are not provided by a competent governmental authority. Documents originated from governmental authorities need to be obtained to meet the U.S. Department of State and USCIS requirements. The cost of this is estimated to be from $3,000 to $9,000

NOTICE:

The Foreign Supervised Provider shall submit invoices for all expenses in accordance with services performed. Such invoices shall state a description of each specific service performed. The fees shall be designed to provide maximum transparency for prospective adoptive parents.

Payments to the Foreign Supervised Provider are billed by the FSP and will vary. The Foreign Supervised Provider agreement will contain a document with itemized fees and a payment schedule. In some countries fees may depend on the number of children that a family is adopting

REFUND STATEMENT

Agency fees paid to Adopolis cover performance of services and are non-refundable. Payment of fees does not guarantee the referral of a child or successful completion of the adoption case. Refunds of Foreign Country Fees will be made on a case-by-case basis, to be determined by the Foreign Providers to which the money was paid, based on work completed. Refunds cannot be made for services that have already been performed. All requests for refunds must be made in writing to Adopolis, which will forward the refund request to the Foreign Providers for their consideration.

THIRD PARTY EXPENSES:

These estimated third party expenses are the sole responsibility of the prospective adoptive parent(s). These expenses may be changed at any time by the providers of the services.
