Tracy:
With Maria's adoption we too paid for 3 months extra foster care. I was worried that with Flora's adoption she would charge us more since we weren't using an agency, but she didn't, she charged us the same monthly rate, we had to pay for 6 months though for Flora. I think it's pretty standard practice for her. I know that doesn't help, but at least you know that she is nothing if not consistent.

I know I wasn't pleased to pay the extra foster care, but didn't think it was outlandish. Our processes were relatively normal though, I don't know that I would feel the same had I been in your shoes, where there was an extended process, with complications that were created by the attorney.

We also didn't have to have a BMI so I can't relate to the amount that you're being billed for that. If you want to PM me I can tell you what we paid per extra month of Foster Care to see if the attorney is being consistent on that front.

It is tough, there's no way around feeling like you are being taken advantage of when it's this late in the game and the rules seem to change. Good Luck and let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
