The Second Sibling Adoption – Adoption Costs Less the Second Time Around

The Second Sibling Adoption  – Adoption Costs Less the Second Time Around
There is an old song about love being lovelier the second time around.  It certainly holds true for the miracle of the second sibling adoption that can happen quite unexpectedly.   Many families want to adopt again, but they are worried about how much adoption costs.  However, when a family maintains open communication with the biological parents through their open adoption agreement, they are often the first to know when this sometimes unexpected, but very welcome, opportunity arises. Adding a biological sibling to the family is typically a positive experience for the adoptive families and their children. A Baby Step Adoption works to make the adoption cost of a second sibling affordable and reasonable.  We are able to update and expedite the home study, and quickly find an American Academy of Adoption attorney to complete the adoption process.
We just finalized the adoption of adorable baby Michael. His biological big brother, Robert, was adopted by one of our wonderful A Baby Step Adoption families, and they were thrilled to have Michael join their family.  However, like anything, even our joyful adoption miracles are not without rough spots. This time, it was due to the constant and crazy snowstorms of 2014!  Even with our quick interstate compact approval (ICPC), the family was unable to actually get home because of the snow.  They ended up flying all over the country and being re-routed quite a bit…we laughed while preparing their adoption tax credit, which shows travel to South Dakota, Dallas and Charlotte and from Minnesota to Pennsylvania.  Luckily, the family made it home safe and sound after a tumultuous travel experience!
Our wonderful family is thrilled with their surprise second adoption. Our baby adoption specialists at A Baby Step Adoption offered support and guidance throughout the process, while we successfully kept the adoption cost low and manageable for the family. Now, we are at it again with a family traveling to California to meet a newborn sibling for another second sibling made possible by low adoption costs.  Let’s hope there are no weather delays to contend with in sunny San Diego!
At A Baby Step Adoption, we love helping families grow, whether it be their first child or if they already have children at home.  Our adoptive families tell us we have earned the title of the best adoption agency (and we think our families are the best, too!)
