Julie & Rob Schneebele

As many of you are aware, we have decided to expand our family by adopting a baby!

The journey to become parents to Robin was very difficult for us - emotionally, physically, and mentally. After taking many things into consideration, we have decided to adopt our second child. Robin has big sister energy, and Levi and Winston would love another baby to watch over.

As exciting as this journey is, it is very expensive. We are unable to finance this without help. We do not want to start this child’s life with a mountain of debt. We are humbly asking for any financial support that can be provided.

For full transparency, here are some of the costs that go into an adoption:

$2,000 for a home study.

$2,000 for adoption education, trainings, and adoption profile & video services.

$12,000 for matching program including marketing, advertising, networking, and outreach.

$38,000 for agency fee (client casework, biological parent services, hospital discharge, legal custody, coordination of adoption, coordination of legal services, biological parent counseling, post placement visits).

$4,000-15,000 for legal fees (vary depending on the state the biological parent resides).

NOTE: the payments are made in 4 large lump sums, all prior to the baby being placed in our home - payment plans are not an option.

Thank you for considering helping our family on this journey. We appreciate our village more than words can convey.

Love, Julie, Rob, Robin, Levi, & Winston
