    Have a look at the Adoption section here Adoption, Permanent Care & Fostering

    The costs for local adoption are not very high, overseas adoption is when you start getting high costs.

    In Victoria, check out this Adoption and permanent care - Department of Human Services, Victoria, Australia
    Adoption and permanent care - frequently asked questions - Department of Human Services, Victoria, Australia

    The first step would be to go to an information session, and see if you think it miht be right for you.

    take care

    Hi bellabee84,
    If you want information or discussion on adoption etc, you are best off to follow the links that HotI posted for you, to our Adoption Forum. You will probably get a better response over there.
    All the best,
