Leave it to my sweet friend Kris to put it in perspective for me:
Let's say you get $2000 back. If it takes you 2 hours to get the paperwork together, you're making $1000 an hour! :)

Let me start by saying that I am so insanely thankful that Alan's employer has a SIZEABLE adoption assistance re-imbursement!!! So thankful, there are no words.
BUT
Please, someone, tell me why a LETTER FROM THE AGENCY stating what we paid them(not including travel, foster care, medical, USE) is NOT sufficient evidence that we spent that money. I mean helloooooooooooo.....................they sure as heck didn't do this for free!!! All they would have to do is call to verify the letter.
NOOOOOOOOOOO
I have to go back through credit cards statements and bank statements and fostercare wire receipts, etc, to PROVE that we paid the full amount they will re-imburse. The letter from the agency is almost THREE TIMES the reimburseable amount!!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Here I sit, printing off page after page after page of statements that include ANYTHING and EVERYTHING related to Guatemala. Then I have to go through and black out all the stuff they don't have any need for. All the while, a copy of a letter from the agency sits in someone's hand.....as insufficient evidence of money paid.
FUN FUN FUN........NOT!!!!
