I’m expecting my tax refund Monday, at which point I’ll pay off my last bit of credit card debt, put the rest into savings and start applying for adoption loans. I’m going to start local with two credit unions I already do business with, and hopefully I can get approved for a decent amount at a decent rate.
As I recently complained on my Facebook page, I can get a boob job, home or car financed from 0% - 4%, but I don’t think I can get an adoption loan for less than 11%. Financial priorities in this country are really messed up!
Once I know how much I can borrow, I’ll be able to better fill out the next round of grant applications. Then I’m going to start a full-on social media campaign including a Facebook page and Twitter account dedicated solely to my networking for adoption. I recently learned that more than half of all adoptions in the US are done privately (without an agency), even though it seems like agencies are the popular way to go.
I’ve also ordered some breast milk storage bags (Amazon’s recommendations for me should get interesting!), and my milk donor is starting to pump a little extra.
So yeah, moving right along!
