Ok this is how it was done with our son.Our adoption worker sent his file to the RC and they Rated him. In our case the RC stated that it would cost them xxx amount of money and thats what we requested on our AAP paperwork.There is a spot on the paperwork where you state the amount you are requesting.Never sign these papers until you are satisfied with everything on them.The fact that your adoption worker doesen't know what you are talking about scares me. You might try talking to someone in sacramento. Here try her.
