**Program and placement fees for the Sayers Center are subsidized by The Cradle and grants through the Department of Children and Family Services and other charitable organizations.

As a not-for-profit organization, The Cradle makes every effort to keep adoption a financially accessible option for building your family. In fact, our fees do not cover the costs we incur in providing counseling, outreach and educational services to all members of the adoption circle. We rely heavily on fundraising and charitable giving for ongoing support of our adoption services.

  • All Fees are subject to change. Refund Policies
  • Placement fee must be paid in full prior to adoption finalization.
  • If your Domestic or Sayers Center placement is the result of networking (i.e. a match through your own networking efforts) there will be a 10% reduction in the placement fee at the time of your placement.
