Hee Hee Ha Ha Hooooooo!!!
Well...
Seems that WITH the news of the
fabutastic court date
comes news that the
remainder of our fees are due!
In full.
Like Now.
THIS is the part of adoption NO ONE talks about.
The money.
It's a lot.
Not as much as some countries...
but more than it cost us to birth our first four.
Comparisons?
Or....
maybe...
... for like a month.
BUT....
you know what?
I would trade it all
RIGHT NOW
for the chance to get my first hugs.
First kisses.
First "I love you".
The money?
Yeah, we are a little short.
But hey...
we have 2 days before I have to mail it!
This I know...
I have seen it before...
He moves mountains.
BIG mountains.
And He will move our mountain, too.
(*corrected to say - I don't mean
to compare the adoption of our
kids to a "purchase", but sometimes
it is helpful to "see" how big
the ransom is for our three
kids. Our agency is awesome,
the fees are appropriate
and not at all out of line...
but it's just a lot.)

The cars depreciate in value, the memories of vacation fade, but the child is forever. :)
