Strengthening Ohio Families Through Family Forward

Article Presented By Adena Health…

(Columbus)- November is National Adoption Month, which presents a great opportunity to place a renewed focus on helping more families take shape across Ohio.

Throughout Ohio, there are many families dreaming of opening their hearts and homes to a child through adoption. But, the ever-rising costs associated with the process often place a significant financial burden on prospective parents and – in some cases – even deter them from considering adoption as a way to grow their family. In fact, it’s not uncommon for families navigating the adoption process to encounter costs ranging from $10,000 to upwards of $50,000.
