grants

Wendy,

I have to agree with Elizabeth on the grants. Save your application fee money and put it towardsomething else. Your fundraising will go further than pursuing grants. Worst case scenario, do what we are doing. Our children are all visa kids. Much, much cheaper than adoption loans b/c you do all the cash advances than transfer to no interest balance transfer card. It's worked for us. Plus, if you tell your story to the credit card company, they'll try to find a way to get you lower rates or a way around the cash advance fees. Good luck. You can do it. Memorial weekend is the most expensive time to fly. See if maybe you could go a week later. Would save much, much money. We are going to do some fundraising when we return from this trip in order to go back and get the rest of our kids. Yes, we found more. Won't tell about them yet. Don't want to "jinx" it. Great boys though. Wendy, you will bring Misha home and it will be life changing. I applaud your efforts. Gives us the motivation to get moving as well. Thanks for the update.

Best wishes on your adoption journey.
