hi wendy:

i've been following your story and want to wish you lots of efforts in your attempt to adopt misha.

i thought i should tell you what i've learned about adoption grants. i've seen lots of people post on the general adoptive parents support board, international boards, and guatemala. i believe, without exception, that everyone writes that the grants are impossible to obtain. some of the grants apparently require you to pay an application fee. anyway, i don't want to rain on your parade, but from what i've learned, seems like grants are almost impossible to obtain - and i guess the 'application fees' could really add up.
