We kept a spreadsheet of everything from Paperclips to postage....everything here in the states and when we went to Russia on 2 trips.
The whole thing including consulate registration when we returned - 41,375.98 - how's that for detailed
We did side by side comparisons of several agencies before we signed. We looked at Cradle of hope, Gladney, Frank, EAC, CAI, SWAF, and put their amounts side by side (all had different charges for different things) but in the end we choose Cradle of Hope because when we got their paperwork/folder it had a waiting child letter and our son was on it. Cradle wasn't the cheapest but there was only about 2k difference from the others....we are very happy with our son!! He is perfect and healthy and naughty
Good luck
