We learned this morning that we did not receive the Gift of Adoption grant that we had applied for. Very disheartening as we were also denied by Shaohannah's Hope. So I'm asking and welcoming suggestions on other grants to apply for and other ways to finance adoption or what other families have done to fund your adoption. At this point we have raised just under half the cost of the expenses owed to Bethany. The reason Gift of Adoption stated for not giving us a grant was that less than 50% of the total reported adoption costs have been funded. Which makes me a little mad since that is why we are applying for the grant because other avenues have fallen through. We did receive a grant from Katelyn's Fund and from our church, which we were very thankful for. So if you have any suggestions let us know!
Have a great weekend!

You've mentioned two out of the five I recommended on the post below, but perhaps the other three might be helpful. GOD bless!

Here are some other grants:
Heaven Sent Adoptions
The Abba Fund (interest free loans)
Lifesong for Orphans (interest free loans, matching grants, help with fundraising)
God's Grace
All I can say is that God will provide- although it is disheartening when you don't get grants. Let me know if you need any more information- all of those places have websites.
