Adoption and Pregnancy Counseling

State of Colorado continues to add reporting burdens and fees. They now assess agencies doing international adoptions an annual $400 fee. They are mandating that all agencies transfer all records to computer. This cost to our agency is estimated to be $42,000.

It is clear we cannot continue the program as it currently is designed.
