Here are some ideas:

• Employer benefits-check with your employer to see if they have any adoption benefits
• Utilize the federal adoption tax credit-contact your personal tax preparer or check the IRS website
• Personal loan from your local bank
• Adoption loans and grants
• Creative fundraising: hold a benefit, have a rummage sale, recycle ink cartridges, be creative!
• Borrow from your 401K or home equity
• Military adoption benefits
