And finally...

...the most painful-to-answer of the frequently asked is;

How much will it cost?

Well, it costs alot. Alot more than I can really get my head around. So I broke it down a little.

Our adoption will cost;

5,882 Grande Carmel Macchiatos

or

1,000 dinners for two at Chilis

or

294 pairs of jeans

or

100 months worth of groceries

or

83 Iphones

or

8 Canon D5 MarkIIs (AKA my dream camera)

or

2.5 days worth of profit for YouTube

or

1 2009 Honda Civic.

Or I guess you could say that it will cost $25,000. It just depends on how you look at it.

So, how do you plan to pay for it?

We had a little bit of money saved (about $4,500) and have already applied all of it toward expenses we have encountered so far.

At this point, our financial plan* is to work harder, spend less, save more, apply for grants, get creative, host fundraisers and pray, pray, pray.

*We did not consult Dave Ramsey here, so perhaps we don't have the most solid plan, but we are trusting that the Lord will provide the finances.
