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.

Instagram Adoption Scam Highlights The Importance Of Working With An Adoption Agency

A couple was recently devastated by an adoption scam that occurred on Instagram.

More Couples Seeking Children For Adoption Through Social Media Than Ever Before 

A 23-year-old Utah couple made the decision to adopt after struggling with infertility issues. Instead of working with a qualified adoption agency, they decided to advertise their interest in adoption through social media, specifically on Instagram.

A women contacted the couple through the platform and told them that she was giving birth within a month and that she was searching for adoptive parents for her child. Her Instagram account seemed legitimate, with pictures of a pregnant woman being posted regularly. The couple began to communicate with her daily, moving their messages from Instagram to the phone.

But soon it become clear that something was off.

The woman would not sign a doctors release form so that they could contact her physician and wouldn't provide location information so that they could find an adoption attorney near her to work with her. When they spoke with their own attorney she let them know that her firm had dealt with a scammer on Instagram at least 12 times this year alone - always a woman who wasnted to talk to the adoptive parents but who never actually had a child to give up for adoption.

Oddly enough, this particular woman never asked for money. She simply seems to want to upset prospective parents by baiting them with a fake pregnancy.

This is just one example of an adoption scam and thankfully, this couple did not lose any money in the process. Others, however, are not so lucky.

Sisters Sell Bracelets To Raise Money For Adoption

When an individual or couple makes the decision to add to their family through adoption, one of the first questions that they ask is “How will I be able to afford this?”. While Adoptions From The Heart professionals are happy to provide recommendations for financial resources, some family members often take the matter into their own hands. 

Bracelets Sold To Raise Adoption Money 

When one couple told their children that they would like to adopt, their kids not only responded with the enthusiasim and excitement that they had hoped for but they also began a personal project to help their parents pursue their adoption dream. 

The four sisters of the Tate family, whose ages range from 4 - 11, started to make bracelets. Their goal? To sell the bracelets to make money to help pay for an adoption. They are selling bracelets for $4 and anklets for $3. So far the kids have raised more than $1,000. 

Their parents are touched that they came up with this idea all on their own.
