Creative Financing

Talk with your health insurance company to see if they offer maternity benefits for an adoption

• Refinance your house and/or car
• Have a garage sale or use the internet to sell items that you don't use anymore
• Visit A Mother's Love for other fundraising ideas to cover potential adoption expenses
• Save earnings from a second job to go toward adoption expenses
• Ask your church about helping with your family's adoption expenses
• Begin subtracting "known baby costs" from your paycheck to help save money for adoption expenses, but also to learn how to live on a smaller income
• Skip your vacation, stop eating out as much, and shop more for bargains
• And don't forget to ask God for guidance in meeting adoption expenses
