The fee includes consultation, counseling, mediation, and planning services to the family and to the prospective birthparent(s) from the time of the match until placement. This fee is only due one time, regardless of the number of birthparent matches.

Families beginning the matching stage of an adoption with Boys & Girls Aid must agree to put any and all other potential adoption plans on hold.

Due: When a child is placed with the family.

This fee includes:
