I can understand you being upset - I have heard of many people raising funds by having yard sales and such. I think it's a good idea to put it on your website too. As I don't agree with your in-laws, you have to just respect their viewpoint about the addresses. I found that through all my infertility, no matter how much I tried to explain to family and friends, the things I want, need, feel emotionally, they just don't understand. Even with adoption, it's like - oh, why don't you just adopt - like it's just so easy as well. For what we've all been through to have our families, unless you go through it yourslef, no one else can understand. And for that, they will say dumb things.

Do your fundraising how you like (and make sure it's legal) - maybe ask some agencies for opinions or suggestions?

But with the tax refunds and your husbands work refund, that should get you back at least $14,000. A big chunk of what it will cost to adopt already.

Hang in there - and good luck with the attorneys names!
