Since summer is around the corner and spring is still in the air ....

Oksana and my friend's baby goats can never hurt for a smile...Enjoy and have a blessed day!

I just had to laugh the other day while looking on FRUA.  Someone had mentioned not to hire a "cheap" (in cost) facilitator!

Why not, I wondered?  . 

Who says that a "cheap" facilitator cannot provide the same service. 

I laughed out loud when I read that.  This is far from the truth. 

 

Having seen many facilitators in action and what they charge a family, it really makes me question the integrity of those that charge "more". 

Some say the facilitator provides the expediting fees for this or that in the fee.  What?  How does one know what regions charge for this or that? 

I have been to three regions and NEVER had the same experience!

One person mentioned that the fees-lodging/meals etc.. would be paid by the family in region.  WHAT?  You just paid them X amount of dollars and now they want you to cater them too?  Is this not a business deal?  How crazzzy is that! 

 

Yes, I have paid for my facilitator to have a great meal with us or maybe a nice place to sleep, BUT only by the goodness of my own heart,  I was never REQUIRED!  Insane!  No wonder adoptions are getting more expensive!

 

The only way to stop the costs from escalating is to know WHEN to stop the overpaying! A facilitator that has worked for yearsand still charges about the same has integrity for the system. 

 

I will take integrity over greed anytime.
