My partner and I have been together for ten years and are getting married this summer after just buying our forever home. Our next goal (besides the wedding) is to start the process of adopting. Unfortunately, the cost of adopting on average in 40K for a new born, which almost equals the cost of our wedding. We struggled with the decision to even have a wedding or start our family, as it felt selfish to put this much money towards a single evening rather than towards starting a family. I had an idea of having a cash registry to contribute towards the start of our family. My partner has written a beautiful piece on the registry page but I can't help but feel that the act of asking for money is still tacky. I also don't know how to actually collect the money - i've looked into sites like Honeyfund but all of these sites have transaction fees which makes the entire process feel even more tacky. Thoughts on how we might approach this?
