The Average American has a savings balance of $16,420. With the cost of an average adoption at $43,239, how is a couple able to afford adoption?
Laura Coleman is a Tennessee-based Accredited Financial Counselor with a special niche - preparing couples financially for fertility and adoption. After experiencing firsthand the financial burden and stress that accompanies the fertility and adoption process, Laura felt called to start her blog, podcast and financial coaching practice: Family Money Coaching.
Laura joins Chase, Felipe, and Katie for a discussion on strategies real families use to avoid or at least minimize debt when trying to grow their family through adoption or IVF, as well as tips to keep emotional spending in check when an adoption or fertility treatment doesn't pan out the way you expected.
For more information on Laura Coleman, AFC, or debt-free fertility journeys, you can visit her website, listen to her podcast, or sign-up for Laura's upcoming 12-week course: Financially Preparing for Adoption.
