Dossier Translation & Legalization Expenses: $4,500 - $6,000After securing the notarized documents to be included in your dossier, it is necessary to obtain state apostille certification seals. In our experience the Secretary of State fees range from $0 - $20, with the majority of states charging $5 - $10. Once your documents have been certified, your dossier will need to go to Ukraine for translation. The large portion of this fee is for your dossier to be submitted and translated in Ukraine. KAS also offers an Optional Dossier Legalization Service for $250. All fees charged for express mailing, all authenication fees and all courier fees remain the responsibility of the adoptive family. Please call or eMail the office for more information about this valuable service. Miscellaneous Fees: $500 - 1,000.00We advise families to include an additional $500 minimum toward miscellaneous and unexpected expenses when planning for any adoption. All fees are subject to change and any fees not paid to KAS are not under the control or discretion of KAS. On occasion KAS may be able to offer a slight fee reduction based on a child's special needs and a family's financial situation. KAS contributes a small portion of the fees collected for Home Studies and for Agency Placement Fees to humanitarian aid. KAS donates significantly to humanitarian aid through a ministry in El Salvador, donations to orphanages and ministries in Guatemala, donations to an orphanage in China, to donations to orphanages and ministries in Haiti, the orphanage KAS built in Haiti, as well as various projects worldwide. |
