      The Adoption Reimbursement Program is intended to subsidize the adoption of children under 18 years of age for members of the Coast Guard.

      In accordance with Commandant Instruction 1754.9 (series), an active duty or reserve Coast Guard service member who adopts a child under 18 years of age may be reimbursed authorized adoption expenses up to $2,000 per adoptive child, but no more than $5,000 per calendar year. In the case of two married service members, only one member may claim expenses for each adopted child and the couple is limited to the $5,000 per calendar year maximum.

      The Adoption Reimbursement Program is available to the following members of the Coast Guard:

      • Active Duty Coast Guard
      • Coast Guard Reservists on active duty for at least 180 days.
