Getting Those Grants: How One Mom’s Tenacity Really Paid Off

Rachel and her husband were just like many other couples looking to adopt.

After spending thousands of dollars on fertility treatments, their entire savings account was nearly dried up. The couple decided to fund their first adoption through loans, but Rachel knew there had to be a better way.

So she started applying for grants.

When the rejection letters started filling her mailbox, she kicked her tenacity into overdrive. The result? Rachel and her husband received over $38,000 to help with adoption fees.

How’d they do it? Listen in as host Nicole Moore and guest Rachel Wendel provides tips and tricks for getting the financial help needed to adopt.   Welcome to Season 2, Episode 7 of Moore to Love: An Adoption Podcast.
