You are so welcome! I will be there any time you need! PM me if you have any questions! I also know that the book called "Good Greif" is a book that is supposed to be both good and a requirement to adopting with my agency. Check it out on Amazon! I agree with getting things paid off and saving a few bucks before this starts it is a hard and consuming process and the last thing you want to do is get in the money fight! ALSO check with your (if you work) and DH's job they are allowed by law BUT NOT REQUIRED TO give you a credit of UP TO $10,000 for an adoption (at least they are in Tx.) Also there is a Government credit you can apply for and that is up to $10K as well depending on the household income while going through an adoption. I also know depending on the state you are in if you adopt a older child (4to what ever age I think it is) you can get insurance for them by the state if it is to much of a financial burden for you until they are 18 but it may depend on their ethnic background. In Texas you can also get 4 years of collage paid for in a State School if you adopt a "ethnic" child or a special needs child. I am not saying that is the route for you to go, for us we are going newborn first time but there are things out there for you if you look for them that will help you the whole way throuhg!!! The best of luck I am here when and if you need me!!
