Can Lifetime actually help us?
Because every family’s circumstances and goals are different, the application helps us determine whether Lifetime is a good fit for your adoption path and whether we believe we can effectively support you in reaching your goal of growing your family through adoption.
What makes Lifetime different?
How much will adoption cost?
Families should also budget for outside expenses such as the home study, legal fees, pregnancy-related expenses, travel, and post-placement services.
Overall, Lifetime families typically plan for a total adoption budget of about $50,000, including our fee and other adoption-related costs.
What happens after I apply?
During the call, we’ll get to know you better, discuss your adoption preferences, explain how Lifetime works, and answer your questions. It’s an opportunity for both you and our team to determine whether Lifetime is the right fit for moving forward.
Am I committing to adoption if I fill out the application?
Applying gives us the opportunity to learn more about you while giving you the chance to learn more about Lifetime before deciding whether you’d like to move forward.
How does matching actually work?
When there is mutual interest in moving forward, our team supports both you and the expectant mother through the matching process and helps everyone prepare for the adoption.
