More Bad News. Fees, Fees, and More Fees. The dowside of adoption.

Today we found out that China has increased some its fees.  This happens during adoptions.  Especially if the value of the Yuan goes down as compared to the dollar.  We may not have an increase in all fees.  Sometimes, they grandfather in fees.  If you have started the process, you may not have to pay the increases.  When it rains it pours.  Hopefully, this will be all the bad news for this week.  At times like these, I wish we were already headed to China.  Angie also found out that the Chinese Embassy charges $15 to $20 a sheet to certify.  Not only that, but they will only take the paperwork from a courier that you have to hire.  I think her fee is $150.
