I've only lurked up until now. We have just begun pursuing international adoption (Korea, specifically). Our initial application was just approved last week. I was wondering if any of you had advice for places to look for adoption grants that we could apply for to help with the cost? Thanks.

Our agency has a great list under their "resources tab". Some are specific for what kind of adoption you are doing and some are only for loans. We applied for four but only got the gift of adoption fund grant.

I'm a lurker who will intro soon but I wanted to let you know that Creating a Family had Adoption Grants and Loans as the topic on their radio show yesterday. I haven't listened to it yet but they have all kinds of amazing podcasts regarding IF and adoption so I'm assuming this one will be good as well. I've posted the link to their radio shows page below. Sorry if it's not clicky, I seem to have problems with that. I think it's my browser maybe? Just click on the play button in the blogtalkradio box in the middle of the page to listen to yesterday's episode. You can also download the podcast from iTunes if you prefer. Good luck!
