Does Beginnings offer or arrange financial support for adoption to offset costs associated with the process?

Adoptions usually cost at least $22,000 – $25,000. When a match is made you have to be prepared to provide Beginnings with the retainer fee of $15,000, before the proposal can go to the Ministry for approval. Beginnings does have an Adoption Reserve Fund for special circumstances (when an adoption has gone above the approximate $22,000 – $25,000 usual cost). For example, in case of twins, a complicated case that required a longer foster care stay, a case involving higher than usual legal costs etc.
