Child Adoption Funds
CAF is not an adoption agency, but do help adoptive parents throughout the USA who are currently working with adoption agencies to set up a 'family foundation'. Once in place, the 'family foundation' will help adoptive parents pay for their adoption expenses through the new, tax-exempt foundation. The National Heritage Foundation is the entity that will hold your investment, and the Child Adoption Funds Organization is the facilitator of the process.

Christian Advocates for Adoption (CAFA)
Funding adoption through CAFA is not by means of a grant, loan, or gift from this ministry, but by inviting others to participate with you financially in this blessed event. Scripture makes clear that it is more blessed to give than receive (Acts 20:35) and that when we give and sow we will in turn reap and be blessed (Luke 6:38; Gal. 6:7). By asking for support for your adoption, you are opening a door of opportunity to others to participate in the cause of the fatherless. Working together will help you to raise up to one half of the cost of your adoption. Any funds raised beyond the goal will be used to further the ministry of CAFA and assist other orphans in finding loving Christian families.

Dependency Exemption
Adoptive parents may take the same dependency exemption on their income taxes for their adopted children, and children placed with them for adoption but not yet finalized, as they would for their biological children. The exemption reduces their taxable income. The amount of the dependent exemption is adjusted annually to reflect the cost of living. Remember, families must provide more than half of their children's support to list them as exemptions.

Employer Adoption Benefits
Many companies offer adoption benefits to their employees which may range from financial assistance to parental leave. Some employers will help with costs by reimbursing expenses with a cash benefit of up to several thousand dollars.
