Save the Adoption Tax Credit

The Adoption Tax Credit has been offered for years to taxpayers that adopt children--both domestically and internationally.  Because of this tax credit, parents that otherwise couldn't afford adoption have been able to adopt.  This translates to children being taken out of foster care or orphanages and placed with their forever families.

This tax credit is set to expire 12/31/2012.  There are many families that want to adopt but simply can't afford all of the expenses without this credit, so if this credit expires, these families won't be able to adopt.  Children will suffer the most since they will be left in foster homes or orphanages.

Get involved by contacting your Representatives and Senators urging them to support the extension and refundability of this tax credit.
