We believe in transparency. All adoption costs for each type of adoption are listed below. Please call us at (623) 936-4729 or 1-800-340-9665 for a free review of adoption services we can provide.


Service	Details	Fee
HOME STUDY SERVICES	Home studies are required for a family to adopt a child internationally or from anywhere in the U.S. The home study approves you as an adoptive family so that you may work with the child referral service that best meets your needs in any state. This adoption cost is constant regardless of type of adoption.	$1,100
HAGUE HOME STUDY	Building Arizona Families is Hague Convention Accredited. Adoption costs for international adoption include The Hague home study.	$1,500
RELATIVE HOME STUDY	Home studies are required for a family to adopt a child from the U.S. or internationally. The home study is approving you as an adoptive family and so you may work with the child referral service that best meets your needs in any state.	$800
HOME STUDY ADDENDUM/UPDATE	When is a home study update/addendum needed? An update is necessary if you have changed jobs, moved to a new home in the same state, if there is a new member living in the home, or if you have decided to change adoption programs. If you have moved to another state you will be required to have a new home study completed and cover the adoption costs for it. Home studies are only valid in the state in which they were completed.	$300
HOME STUDY RE-CERTIFICATION REPORT	Home studies are only valid for a particular length of time depending on the state it was completed in. This does not mean that you have to go through the entire home study process again; it simply means that the home study must be updated after this time has passed. There will be at least one visit in your home with a social worker, and you will be asked to submit current documentation—including background checks and CPS clearances. If you have moved to another state, you will be required to have a new home study completed. Home studies are only valid in the state in which they were completed.	$500/$800
	Standard Home Study	$500
HAGUE HOME STUDY CONVERSION	Re-certification/Update of Home Study to meet Hague requirements including one, 1-hour home visit.	$800
POST PLACEMENT /ADOPTION REPORTS	After a child is placed with you, either internationally or domestically, it is required that you have a completed post placement or post adoption report conducted by a licensed adoption agency. A post-placement/post adoption report involves a visit to your home to check on the adjustment of the child and the family and to answer any questions or concerns you may have. These adoption costs remain constant across all types of adoption.	$300
TRAVEL FEE (IF APPLICABLE)	For Families located beyond the Phoenix area we will travel to your home for the first home visit.	$100 – $800
COURT APPEARANCE BY SOCIAL WORKER		$200
ADOPTION STUDY REPORT	$200 will be deducted from the Adoption Study fee if an adoptive Home Study was completed with Building Arizona Families. $100 will also be deducted from the Adoption Study fee for each post placement visit/report completed with Building Arizona Families with a maximum deduction of $300. Adoption costs for a Adoption Study Report are required for any type of adoption.	$600
