Crisp & Clean

Our adoption agency has a Yahoo Group that's a great source of information for us. I got a kick out of a recent post. Part of every adoption from China is making a donation to the orphanage from which you are adopting. It's all above board and official--nothing "under the table."

Well, it seems that its crucial to make sure that you are well supplied with brand new, crisp, clean $100 bills for this donation (quite of few of them I might add!). I can't imagine, after all that's required to complete the adoption, jeopardizing it by presenting "dirty money." The person making this post went on to suggest beginning to collect the money a couple of months in advance because these pristine $100 bills apparently aren't so easy to come by.
