A possibility

Well, we may have the $5,000 soon after all. There are places out there that will give adoption grants to people who need them. Every place I'm aware of says that you have to have an approved homestudy first. So I have been planning to apply, but I was wondering what to do about the five grand that I needed before I could get to that point. Apparently, there is a special adoption loan available that we can apply for before our homestudy is done. The limit on this loan is $10,000 so it won't cover the whole adoption, but it would cover what we need next week and leave another five for the next chunk of money that is due. The day we receive a baby, the remaining $15,500 is due, so this would take us down to needing $10,500. Perhaps I will get some grants to help with the remaining part, plus there will be money from our fundraisers to go towards that too. So I'm about to go to the website and print out the loan application stuff. Pray that this is something we'll be eligible for, that we get approved quickly, and that they can disburse the money quickly too!
