Show me the Money! Unexpected (or feared) Increases in Fees

This is the part of an adoption that I dread.  When you are in the waiting process, there is always a chance that one of the many players is going to change its rates.  Yesterday, we received an email from our agency that China or CCCWA has increased its fee for processing.  We now have to pay $500 more.  I wish the paperwork was in the process already.  Since it is still on its way, we have to scrounge yet again.  It's almost like they are trying to discourage people from adopting.  That's life.  Its happened before and it will happen again.
