Many Corporations, Including Best Buy, Help Employees Make Adoption Possible

When considering adoption, one of the most important aspects that prospective parents consider is the cost of the adoption. Thankfully, as awareness about adoption spreads, many companies are including benefits that help individuals and families pursue their dream.

Best Buy Helps Employees Finance Adoption 

The new program that was recently launched by Best Buy is open to employees who have worked at the company for at least six months and offers up to $14, 080 in assistance to those who are choosing to adopt.

This amount wasn't always so high - in fact, this new amount is nearly four times the previously offered amount. The change was made, however, when several women working for the company presented a proposal to higher ups, thinking that they may see a small increase.

They were shocked and pleased when just a few months later, their proposal resulted in a huge increase in the amount offered in adoption assistance.

Best Buy isn't the only company that offers adoption assistance. A growing number of employers have realized that adoption assistance is an excellent benefit to offer and will attract new employees. If you or a loved one are considering adoption, speaking to your employer about financial help should be part of your process.

How Expensive Is Domestic Adoption? 

Domestic adoption costs can vary widely, ranging from $0 to $40,000. These costs typically include legal fees, home visit costs, and other expenses like medical care for the birth mother and child.

In addition to employer assistance, many prospective parents are eligble for grants and other forms of financial assistance. To learn more about the financial options available to you, contact Adoptions From The Heart today.
