Our grants are designed to help alleviate financial burdens associated with the adoption process. This may include:
Legal fees
Home study costs and reimbursements
Counseling services
Post-adoption support
Special needs adoption expenses
Other essential adoption-related costs
Grant amounts vary depending on need and available funding. Most grants will range from $500-$2,500.
Currently, grants are available for adoptions where the applicants reside in Pennsylvania. While we do not support international adoptions, all other adoptions that require a home study are eligible to apply.
Grants do not cover non-essential personal expenses, travel unrelated to the adoption process, or ongoing childcare costs.
Once approved, funds are typically disbursed within 2–4 weeks.
