You would think by now I would not be shocked by the cost of international adoption... but in reviewing the new fees we have to pay and the fact that several have gone up or been added that are over a thousand dollars each... I AM SHOCKED. I am not gonna lie, it makes me mad... mad that people dont seem to care that they are adding more pressure and making it more difficult for families to walk through this process. I will not let this deter me, I will do what I have been called to do... WITH GODS help... but this process needs an overhaul. Someone needs to take a look at what adoption agencies are charging and what it really costs. I have some investigating to do, and then we will make a decision about whether we will stay with this agency or not... and I never thought I would be saying that, because I love the people we have worked with.
God please give us wisdom and direction...
