Kevin, that's a good point. However, keep in mind that EVERYTHING you pay for toward the adoption is included in the total expenses toward the employer reimbursement and tax credit. Airplane tickets, hotel stay, food while in China. And other expenses that are not considered money given to the adoption agency....notary expenses, fingerprints, background clearances.
When you add everything up, it can be close to a total of 25-30,000. Even with a great employment plan, most people would still qualify for all of the tax credits. Just keep all receipts for adoption preparation and expenses while in China.
