		<description>This is very encouraging as I&#039;ve always wanted to either foster or adopt children when I&#039;m ready to have my own family.  I&#039;d wondered about the costs as they seemed prohibitive, but it seems much more financially feasible than I had originally thought.</description>

		<description>Clever,

My wife and I adopted our son at 7 days old.  He is 21 months now, and it have been more amazing than I could have imagined. We don&#039;t plan on having any biological children at this time, and just handed in the paperwork for our second adoption.  We had been looking into international adoption, but decided that wasn&#039;t where we were being called.  For an international adoption agency we were very impressed with the care the Wide Horizons took to protect the children in their system.

I will also say that for our first adoption all of our expenses were covered(albeit post adoption).  Between the 11,000 tax credit, and a 2,000 employer assistance it covered all of our expenses, plus a tiny sum.</description>
