kyburgThe name of the agency we met with today was Heartsent. The biggest issue I see today is paying for it all. I have to give them credit - they don't post the fees involved on the website. They do discuss them as soon as you are ready to talk about them - which I think shows a bit more class. Everyone knows the process costs money. You aren't here if you haven't discovered that having children outside of getting pregnant costs money - lots of it.
But we also discovered that our experience with DCFS wasn't unusual - far from it. One couple had spent fifteen years with them and didn't manage a placement.
We get through this process? And we've already been told it isn't as demanding - we're in. We will have a child at the end of it.
How much money? Think of us buying another car. About that much.
Where? I can think of two to three places to pull from - and most of that will have to wait until Monday.
Suffice it to say, I'm going to be looking for things to raffle/auction off to raise funds.
And it was a very nice afternoon.
