Let's examine some other ways to spot an adoption scam:
1. It is beyond a doubt that adoption is expensive. However, the person or couple who is adopting has a right to ask for and receive a breakdown of expenses. The adoption agency should be able to provide within a reasonable amount of time (usually 48 hours) a list of the expenses that are involved in adoption and, more important, an explanation as to the costs. Ex: if plane tickets are estimated at $5000 then the company should provide information as to which carrier will be used, when you will be expected to fly out and what times of the year you will have to travel.
2. You should be provided with an estimate of the costs and the costs should remain within that estimate. If, for example, adoption is expected to cost $25,000, then it should fall within this range. If the agency is claiming that it now costs $30,000 after the person or couple has already entered the program, the agency should provide exact details as to why it now costs more. If the price keeps on climbing, however, this is a red flag as to something being wrong.
3. Check to see if the adoption agency is registered with the Better Business Bureau.
