Donate
For our first adoption we took out a home equity loan. For this adoption I told my husband that I did not want to take out another loan. So we are doing a few things. We pay a lot in taxes out of my husband’s checks and so we can end up getting a huge return at tax time. We changed his W4 so that we get more money in our pockets on paid day but that we will not have to pay taxes at the end of the year. That way I can put more money in savings and pay the adoption fee’s as they occur.
My dad passed away 4 months ago and he was a huge collector of any type of trading cards, comic books, and all kinds off stuff. My mom wants to start selling of all that stuff, so she is having me sell it on e-bay or whatever way I can sell it and she is giving me the profits to go towards our adoption. So I guess you can say my dad is helping pay for our adoption of our son. I always told him that I was going to move when he passed away because I did not want to be the one having to go through all his collections (it's huge). Who knew he was collecting all this stuff to help his grandson come home.
I thought about doing fundraising, but than I saw some post somewhere about the AP who got in trouble and I did not want to take the chances.
Good luck and welcome.
