Hi,
I saw all of your adoption stories and thought maybe someone could help! My husband and I are trying to adopt. We are stationed in Washington state and want to adopt from here before we get moved elsewhere. In this state the birth mother only has 2 days in which to change her mind, so that is a big deal to me. The total cost is $17,000 for this open adoption. We have only been married for 3 years. We are a military family and have no collateral to put up for a loan. How do we come up with this money? Can anyone please share their money story with me? I don't know where to go or what to do. Our families cannot help us. There is a $10,000 tax break that we would get back next year, but I am desperate to know how to come up with the $17,000 to begin with! Any help appreciated!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Allen
