Five days until I leave.
In one week from today, I will have Katie! I cannot believe we are down to one week.

To date, we have spent $31,446.61. Everything after April 26, 2012 is an estimate of what it will take to get her home. If my estimate is correct, we will come in at just over $33,000. If you are considering international adoption, please keep in mind that the fees vary widely from country to country, and from region to region within a particular country. I will be thrilled if we come in at $33,000, because I was expecting to be closer to $40,000!
