The Need
The Reality-
Many Families Face
Adoption is life-changing—but for many families, the journey stops before it truly begins.
The Cost Barrier
$30,000–$50,000
Average cost of adoption
For many families, this becomes the biggest obstacle.
The Drop Off
Too many stop
Families begin the journey— but can't finish.
Financial pressure forces difficult decisions.
The Children
Children are Waiting
Loving homes are ready— but need support.
The gap isn't willingness — it's resources.
A Real Look at the Journey
This is a glimpse into one family’s adoption journey—the costs they faced and the time it took to bring their child home.

Misc.
Every adoption story is unique.
Costs and timelines can vary depending on travel, placement, and how long a family must remain in the child’s birth state before returning home.
But one thing remains constant:
The journey often requires more than families expect—both financially and emotionally.
​
As Scripture reminds us:
“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” — Ecclesiastes 3:11
Adoption journeys don’t always follow our timeline—but they unfold with purpose, even in the waiting.
​
In recent adoptions, families supported through Legacy of Blessings were able to fully fund their journey through a combination of:
-
Lifesong for Orphans
-
Both Hands projects
-
Grants from Legacy of Blessings Adoption Foundation
Together, these resources helped remove financial barriers and make adoption possible.​
Because when the timing is right, everything changes.
