Bank or Credit Card
Check with the financial institution or credit card company you do business with about the possibility of financing your adoption expenses through a home equity loan or other available low-interest financing.

Family and Friends
Grandparents-to-be may welcome the opportunity to assist you. A short but warm letter to family and friends explaining your adoption endeavors may generate assistance that you did not realize was possible.

Church
Your church community may be delighted to be involved, and there may be assistance available for you.

Vacation Funds
Your travel to another country is going to be an adventure! You could consider using money in a savings account earmarked for vacations toward your adoption travel.
