Adoption Fees

We wanted to be as open and honest as possible with everyone.  So, we've attached what fees will need to be paid during this adoption process.  We are praying through this aspect of our journey and will be fundraising and grant-seeking every step of the way.

We will be setting up a tax-deductible donation fund as soon as we complete our home study.  We will also be doing lots of fundraising events and prayerfully asking if people can cover certain parts of the adoption process.

**We both already have passports so we can save on that! :)
