I haven't yet read this book, but I will. It's intriguing to say the least. Adoptive families have long struggled with the cost of adoption and, even though there is a refund later, gathering the funds to pay for the home study, advertising, agency, and attorney fees can be quite overwhelming. I would love to hear your comments if you've read this book, and also your suggestions about how you raised money for your adoption. One soon to be grandpa made some wonderful candy confections and sold them to raise money over Christmas. He helped his family to expand. Another family over at our agency in Missouri held a tattoo fundraiser. The tattoo artists donated their time to do small tattoos for free for anyone who wanted them. They were asked to make a donation of any amount to the adoptive family for their expenses. I have seen families set up a website and ask their friends and family to donate to their adoption fund in lieu of birthday or Christmas gifts. People are getting creative! Let us know how you found ways to fund your adoption. If you'd like to order this book, click the Amazon link to the right.
