I work for myself, so I've just been pushing to get more jobs (architectural photography). Our main savior was refinancing our home - we were able to get the bulk of the money there. It's making our payments a little higher but it seems much more managable.
When we were choosing a country to adopt from, the only "con" on the Guatemala list was the cost. The young age, the healthy babies....that all makes it worthwhile. Just keep in the back of your mind that every time Maria smiles at you, it pays for the extra hours you put in that day.
