OXFORD ADOPTION FOUNDATION

www.oxfordadoption.com
4309 Crayton Road

Naples, FL 34103

239-430-6240

Oxford offers no interest or low interest loans for international adoptions, based upon financial need. Oxford will generally lend up to $5,000 per child, up to a maximum of $10,000. The typical loan terms are 0% interest for the first three years, 3% interest for the next three years, and 6% interest for the final three years, for a maximum loan term of nine years. Adoptive parents should try to obtain funds from all other sources before contacting Oxford, as they lend only the final amount of money necessary to complete the adoption where all other financial resources have been exhausted.
