A question we receive, unfortunately every time you told someone that we stopped our efforts with Ukraine, "Bin there, how much money you have lost with this? "Uh ...
personally, I feel like shouting" I lost my angel and it is more important than my money! "
But back to money, I agree to speak because I want people to understand. We do not regret at all having to spend money for our adoption in Ukraine. It was our dream, it was important to us and we are glad to have tried to the end. What makes us sad is that our project did not have the desired end. By cons, we knew before we embark on the adventure that nothing was certain.
Also, there are people who say we should fight with the agency that gives us back our money. Personally, I do not understand at all why I would ask them that. The money that gave the agency, we had the service that was planned for that money. The only amount that has not been used by the agency is $ 364.50 and I received it today.
The money that has already given the agency was primarily to cover the cost of checking the record, legalization, authentication, the Consulate of Ukraine in Canada, the shipping case in Ukraine and much more. Our file has passed all these stages. Supposedly that our dossier has been translated except that the agency we had not asked yet $ 1000 for the translation. The next step would be filing our case to the SDA and there, we had to pay back the agency, but only after the case was filed.
Yes, we paid more than $ 7,300 (a total that would be more than $ 30,000) so far to try to realize our dream. By cons, almost half of that sum has been paid here in New Brunswick, not to our agency. A very large portion of the money was used to build our case. This really has nothing to do with the agency, regardless of the agency, the cost would have been the same. The total we paid the agency is $ 4,568 (including $ 364.50 that we just get back). Here's the breakdown of the cost we paid: Cost
