LAKHS

Looking over our Adoption Court papers found this:

The said minor will have all legal rights including the rights of inheritance
as that of a natural born child of the proposed adopters and in view of the fact
that the proposed adopters undertake to invest a sum equivalent of Indian Rupees 
2,00,000 (two lakhs only) in the name of and for the benefit of the child in their
country and undertake to file proof of such investment and as the proposed Adopters
undertake to renew /reinvest the said amount invested, on maturity, till the child 
becomes a major and further agree and undertake not to withdraw these investments
 till the child attains the age of majority and to handover the same to the child on the 
child attaining majority..........................

I looked it up and two lakhs is $4100.00 US dollars.

So part of our post placement we will have to do this for Hope.

Children are worth way more than any amount of money.
We will put this on the back burner until we get her home.
