However, I would caution that the use of any type of loan as the very last resort. My wife and I were unwilling to go into debt for adoption so we've been saving any extra income for nearly 8 months. It was very hard and takes a lot of sacrifice and patience but it is well worth it. It is a great feeling to know that we have all our projected adoption costs in savings. Admittedly you do need a bit of disposable income to pull it off and sometimes a loan is the only choice. In that case, finding a no-interest loan like the one you mentioned would be the best option.

Admittedly you do need a bit of disposable income to pull it off and sometimes a loan is the only choice. In that case, finding a no-interest loan like the one you mentioned would be the best option.

Thanks for posting this. Wish we would have had some of this info when we went through our adoption eight years ago. It was a small fortune for us and we were flying blind, as they say. Our adoption was foreign, and the hardest part was dealing with the bureaucracy and corruption involved with the foreign liaison and government. At times it felt as if we were participating in a black market for children, and it wasn't a good feeling. But we did rescue a little girl out of an awful situation, so it was worth it. We may not be able to change the world, but we can help change lives. God bless. Jerry Great resources, Jason. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the resources. My wife and I just finished our home study and are in waiting mode (after some finger prints come in). God has graciously shown us that obedience to His call is more important than our lack of funds or abilities. Keep encouraging the church to step up and be more faithful in this area. God bless you.

Quite encouraging. My wife and I are in a situation much like the one you describe (God's call to adopt, no money, low income level -- the usual). Thanks for the edification, and the exhortation to persevere. Thanks Jason. Quite encouraging.

I admit that we have felt God's call to adopt for some time now, but I have always backed off because of the finances. This is encouraging. Thank you so much Jason.
