Chris could tell how excited they were and was eager to help. After discussing the details, Chris discovered they did not have enough lendable equity, but this didn&#8217;t stop him. He explored additional collateral but unfortunately ran into another dead end. However, when he asked if either of their parents would be willing to be guarantors on a loan, the answer was a resounding &#8216;yes&#8217; and the couple was thrilled!<\/p>\n<p>A few months passed, and the couple called to say they were leaving later that day to fly across the country to pick up their baby. \u00a0They told Chris they needed to have the money wired by the following morning to finalize the adoption, so he quickly jumped into action. While on their way to get their baby, the\u00a0couple was able to remotely sign their loan documents. Chris waited until 7pm that evening for their father to get home from work so he could take\u00a0the documents over to\u00a0the parents&#8217; house to get\u00a0them signed. Afterwards, at 9pm, he rushed back to the branch so he could\u00a0fund the loan as soon as possible. The next morning the wire transfer went out just in time. The couple was thrilled and overwhelmed. They called Chris and expressed how thankful they were to him and to ICCU for helping them achieve their dream of adopting a baby!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICCU team member, Chris made quite a statement while helping members with the adoption of their baby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2213,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
