We had planned to use HE loan to pay for our adoption, but in this crummy market, we got turned down. We have at least 15-20k in equity and only wanted to borrow about 8. They are getting much more strict with how much debt they will allow against a home. We ended up borrowing against dh's 401k.

So, my advice: don't count on this unless you have an immense amount of equity or absolutely no other debt.

Good luck!
