How to Finance International Adoption
1. Check your employer's human resources department to see if it offers adoption reimbursements or benefits. According to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, a number of companies and government agencies offer adoption benefits.
2. Apply for adoption grants, which are awarded to help cut adoption costs. You can find a list of organizations that provide grants or financial assistance for adoption at the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption website.
3. Take an adoption tax credit. According to the IRS, the adoption credit is an amount subtracted from your tax liability. Qualifying expenses include reasonable and necessary adoption fees, court costs, attorney fees, traveling expenses and other expenses directly related to the legal adoption of an eligible child. You can take the adoption tax credit by completing form 8839 for qualified adoption expenses. Attach the form and send it to the IRS with form 1040 or 1040A.
4. Start and monetize a blog detailing your international adoption journey. You can make money by placing ads on the blog, writing sponsored posts or asking for donations. To find ads for your blog, create an account with a reputable ad agency such as Google AdSense. You can start a free blog at Blogger or Wordpress.
5. Ask for cash donations from friends and family members. Inform them about your desire to adopt a child internationally and ask for their help in fulfilling the goal.

Google Advertising Options
AdSense
AdSense lets you earn revenue online by placing targeted ads on your website. It's free to sign up for an AdSense account, and once you sign up you can customize ads to match your site's look and feel. You can choose where you want ads to appear, as well as which types of ads you want on your site. Whenever someone clicks on an ad on your website, you get paid. Google offers several tools through AdSense that let you track the performance of your ads, so you can keep high-performing ads and tweak ones that are not earning you money.
AdWords
AdWords is Google's advertising option that lets you create ads that appear in the 'Sponsored Links' section next to the search results, which can help you boost your website traffic and sales. With AdWords, you can drive targeted traffic to your site by creating ads that show up when prospective customers search for a predetermined set of key words. Google offers tools and support for maximizing the effectiveness of your ads when you sign up for an account, which is free. You pay only a 'per click' fee when someone 'clicks through' your ad and visits your website.
Google Tags
Google Tags is another advertising option you can use to promote your business. Local customers often search Google for the products and services you offer. Google Tags allows you to build a free business listing and add 'tags' that let you highlight information you want your customers to see. For example, your tag can highlight a 'buy one, get one free' offer for new clients, a great review about your business or a link to a cool page on your site. This offers a way to advertise and promote important information about your business. You can try Google Tags free for 30 days and then pay a flat $25-per-month fee (as of January 2011) after that.
Google Places
With Google Places, you can create a free listing for your business, which can help customers find your business online. For example, if you operate a flower shop in Lansing, Michigan, you can sign up for a free listing on Google Places. When customers search for 'Lansing MI flower shop,' a listing with the contact information for your business appears in the search results. This can serve as a free advertising option for your business, helping you stand out and gain greater visibility for your company.

If you don't have an AdSense account, click 'Create a New AdSense Account' and enter your details into the relevant text fields. Click 'Next' when you're finished.
