Thanks to our friends, Robin and Andrew who are on the adoption road, here is a super easy way to support the adoption tax credit! Please help! Also, you can check out their blog HERE.
Adoption Tax Credit
You may or may not be aware that the U.S. Government
offers a very substantial Adoption Tax Credit to adopting families. Without
this credit, adoption would be nearly impossible for many families.
HOWEVER
as reported by America World
Adoption:
On April 17, 2012, Rep. Bruce
Braley (D-IA) introduced the Making Adoption Affordable Act. The act will
permanently expand the federal adoption tax credit to $13,360, an increase of
$1,000 over the current credit, and make it refundable.
The current adoption tax credit is
set to expire at the end of 2012. Over the last several months, many of you
expressed concerns about the impact the expiration of the credit will have on
your family. Congressman Braley’s bill is the first step toward ensuring that
the adoption tax credit continues to be an option to help families offset the
high cost of adoption. More importantly, this legislation will promote the
adoption of God’s children by loving families.
As people who are passionate about
the ministry of adoption, it is up to us to make sure our Representatives
support this life-saving legislation. Will you take action on behalf of orphaned
and vulnerable children by contacting your member of Congress to urge them to
vote “YES” on the Making Adoption Affordable Act?

information for your Representative by clicking HERE.

Adoption Affordable Act can be foundHERE.
We will provide updates on the
progress of the bill as it makes its way through Congress.

Subject: Support the Making Adoption Affordable Act

On behalf of many families in America, please support this bill. The adoption tax credit helps to make adoption a reality for these families. However, I urge to make this decision not because of them but because of the 147 million orphans in the world who need a loving, forever family.
Sincerely,
Thanks for your support!!!!!
