UNDERSTANDING COSTS

Compare the whole cost, not just the first payment.

Two real examples from agency-published fee schedules, including instalments and exclusions. They are not live quotations or confirmation that an agency is accepting new mandates.

Published fees for services in Italy

These are each organisation’s published Italian-services charges, not complete adoption budgets. Foreign procedures, travel, accommodation, translations and post-adoption reports can be additional.

The calculation runs locally, does not predict country-specific fees or recommend an agency.

Six questions for comparing actual quotations

  1. Which charges concern Italy and which the foreign procedure?
  2. When are instalments due, and what happens if the case pauses?
  3. Are translation, legalisation and document renewals included?
  4. What travel and accommodation are actually required?
  5. What does each post-adoption report cost, and for how many years?
  6. Is the quotation valid for your country and circumstances on the relevant date?
