We know that adopting a child over the age of 13 could be difficult, but we feel confident that there are parents of all types out there who love kids and would love to add them to their families.

Adoption is a legal process so there will be costs associated with them. There are grants out there to help fund your adoption (please request that information.) This adoption may qualify for the IRS Adoption Tax Credit.
