We felt it necessary to write regarding our 2nd adoption journey. A friend recently asked us if we can "afford" another child. Our response was YES, of course. This friend then asked us "WHY" are you doing these fundraisers??? We told this friend that YES we can afford another child, however we don't have the huge amount of money it will take to bring the child home. International Adoption is extremely expensive, as we have said before. We do not have the lump sum of $30,000.00-$38,000.00 it will take to bring our 2nd child home. Honestly, we don't know anyone our age who has this kind of money. This is the reason for these fundraisers. We are in the process of getting a Home Equity Loan but as with everyone else the equity in our house has plummeted due to the awful housing market.
Does this make sense? We just wanted a chance to "explain" our side of the story.
Love and HUGS,
Ron, Jenny and Ryan

I just wanted to say you guys do not need to explain yourselves to anyone. You do whatever is necessary to make your family complete.
