HOW TO GET STARTED:

You are applying for a grant from the Dunlap Adoption Assistance Fund. The grant may be used for adoption expenses, including but not limited to a home study for an agency adoption and/or legal costs of a private adoption. You may apply for funds for actual expenses up to the grant limits of $10,000. Be aware of the tax implications if reimbursement is paid directly to you. It is preferable for the DAA funds to be paid directly to the respective agency(s) in order to reduce your personal tax liability.

Please provide the following:

DAAF Adoptive Family Application
Personal Family Profile
Adoption Cost Estimate Worksheet
Home Study Social Worker Letter¹

(If your home study is not approved, or something changes in your family and prevents you from being able to continue, any residual funds are to be returned to the Dunlap Fund).

¹Each state varies regarding who may perform an independent adoption home study. … Unlike agency adoptions, where a home study is required both before and after the placement of the child, some states only require a home study after the child’s placement into the adoptive parents’ home in an independent adoption.
