Hi all,

I've perused this site, and many others, and can't seem to find any information on the approximate legal costs of adoption or permanent care placement in Victoria. I do realise that naturally each case is different, so the costs will vary, but I'm just trying to get a ballpark idea.

are we talking over $20,000AUD? Over $30,000AUD?

and also do the total costs accrue over time, or is it like so much "down and the balance at check out"?

There is so much info out there but I can't find anything about this!

Anyone?
