**Why does adoption cost $70,000?**

Adoption costs can be high due to a range of factors, including agency fees, legal expenses, and costs related to the home study process. These fees ensure that every child is placed in a safe and loving home. At SunshineAndShade, we aim to alleviate these financial burdens for families called to adopt, helping them say 'yes' to their miracle journey.

**How do I know my gift goes where it’s needed?**

Transparency is one of our core values at SunshineAndShade. We guarantee that 100% of your donation goes directly to verified adoption-related expenses. These might be payments to agencies, service providers, or resources for birth moms but never to individuals.

**Are there really that many kids waiting for adoption?**

Yes, sadly there are many children waiting to find their forever homes. The process can be lengthy and costly, which is why the work we do at SunshineAndShade is so vital. We strive to bring families and children together quicker by helping to fund the necessary costs of adoption.

**How can I follow a family’s story?**

You can follow the journey of families we've supported through our Instagram handle, @sunshineandshade.np. We love to share updates on the families we've helped, which wouldn't be possible without the generosity of our donors.

**Does my donation help birth mothers too?**

Absolutely! Your donations not only help adoptive families but also provide essential resources for birth moms. We believe in supporting all parties involved in the adoption process, ensuring they have the necessary resources for a successful journey. Your generosity truly makes a difference.
