Our church is having an adoption conference in a couple months and we are part of the planning team. Today in the mail I received information from Orphans Overseas which is based in Oregon. They are a non-profit Christian agency that currently offers adoption programs for China and Vietnam. The agency comes highly reccomended by a family in our church who used them 5 years ago to adopt two children. I was looking through the information packet and was shocked by how much lower the total expenses are when using this agency! The total expense for China is approx. $11,885 - $15,345 depending on if you live in or out of state and if one parent or two travel overseas. That price is sooooooo much less than other agencies!
