Lightbulb I had another thought

Have you tried looking at this from a different perspective: How can you lower your adoption costs? Since I don't have any details about what you're doing, I have no idea if you're already doing this. But there are many, many agencies out there and many, many different fees. Are you willing to adopt a child with a special need? Or one that may be African American or bi-racial? If so, there are often reduced fees for these babies and some additional assistance available. Our agency will actually give you a loan for up to $2000, which is the amount our state will reimburse expenses for if you adopt a special needs infant. Even if you don't think you are capable of this, you might still be able to find an agency that does sliding scale fees or some other way to lower your costs.
