We took out a home equity line of credit for most of our adoption. We have or will pay for everything except the agency fee out of pocket -- the homestudy, all travel, all legal fees and miscellaneous expenses we've been able to come up with the money for and expect to be able to come up with the rest. But the agency fee -- no way we could wait to save up $13,000! You might check into lines of credit if you own your home or have something else you own that you could pledge for collateral.
