Air Fare Woes

When we started budgeting for our adoption, air fare was going to run us about $1700.00 each, round trip. My last check with KLM is showing about $2300.00. Talk about inflation! And that is IF we can fly KLM. American was $4200.00!!!!! With the possibility of not traveling for several more months, and the possibility of taking three trips, this area of expenditure is quickly becoming our biggest expense! We are trying very hard to not go into debt for our adoption. Partially because the economy is so uncertain, and partially because we are expecting some medical expenses to fix Dias's leg and hip. So we are turning to some fund raising projects.
We chose Empties4Cash as our first fundraier which will be on going. We also are planning a car wash, a Pizza Night, a silent auction and a raffle for some very nice donated items.
Every bit will help. We do not fear our adoption will be denied due to the fact that little Dias is considered special needs and is older. Our growing fear is that we will encounter some unplanned money mountains to go get him! We are going to hope for the best and plan for the worst.
