The opinions on financing adoption are as varied as there are people. Here is what it boils down to.
1. Fundraising is awesome. If you have the desire to adopt but not the means, please fundraise and give one more child (or more) a family.
2. Please do not fundraise if you are not willing to give up some things yourself. Don't sit in your fancy house with a pool, go on multiple vacations and drive brand new cars and wear designer clothing and expect folks like me to help you out because you can't afford it. Puhleeeeze!
3. Money is not going to make you happier. Neither is that new car or fancy house. In a few years the car won't even be new anymore. A child is more important than a car. Your life will be better if it is filled with children and people than with cars. If you can afford a new car you can afford to adopt.
4. If you are curious how *we* are affording this, we are *working* at our jobs. It's the most effective form of fundraising for all involved. :)
