Give Stories - Adopt Parker

The Petersen’s suddenly found themselves in a position to adopt a boy who knew no other family. Funds had to be raised quickly with minimal fees or effort. They used Give. Here’s their story. The Backstory As foster parents, the Petersens had fantasized for many-a-newborn (like a dozen of them) and what it would be like to get to keep one, but knew it wasn’t in the cards because each one has a family who has also been waiting. The Petersens had invested much of their hearts and souls, dreaming of life with Parker growing up with their six-year-old. When they heard on Tuesday that there was no more adoptive family, they stepped out and took a risk, asking to be considered — without an adoptive profile. They said, “Sure! That would be ideal – He’s the only family he’s ever known and you’re already mutually attached.” Cause: Adoption Fees – Right Quick What they didn’t expect was their terms to make it official. The agency required a payment of $10,000 in legal fees by January 13, 2016, to continue the case, which is expected to happen in March. If they win the case, then they enter the next phase of adoption fees. Regardless, the legal fees are due up-front and are non-refundable, as #wordpress #smallbusiness #entrepreneur
