China Adoptions

How Long and How Much?
Two of the most frequent questions asked about adoption are "How long?" and "How much?" These are two important questions when a family is considering an adoption.

How long. Once your dossier is mailed to China, we can get an estimate of when your adoption will be completed. The current estimated time period, from the time your dossier is mailed to the time your referral arrives, is more than 24 months, but it is anticipated that wait times will gradually lengthen and could reach three to four years.

How much. Your fees include agency fees, in-state fees, and in-China fees and services. While the cost of adoption can be significant, Sunny Ridge remains committed to providing families with excellent service while maintaining a cost-effective way for you to grow your family. Current fees for the China Adoption program are listed on our China Program Sheet (pdf).
