My wife and I have been working with a local adoption agency for over a year and have completed all of the requirements for being placed with a child. From the beginning they gave us a fee schedule that outlined all the fees required and now that we have been selected as adoptive parents, they realize they gave us the wrong program fee schedule and now the fees have increased by $8000 dollars based on the childs race/ethnicity. We have been with the agency for a while now and were just selected by a birth mother that is due anyday, however, we only have the initial fees we were given. Is is legal for the agency to require us to pay the additional money since it was their mistake, or am I obligated to pay if we want this child. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
