We were/are in the same situation; but decided to go with a private adoption because we really wanted to adopt an infant. There are some agencies that offer a sliding scale for their fees. Others may be willing to work out some type of payment arrangement. Our agency has been willing to work with us. Additionally, check with your employer as a lot of companies are now offering adoption assistance to employees.
