The Adoption Tax Credit Helps Children Find Forever Homes

With over 113,000 children in U.S. foster care waiting to be adopted and countless more around the world in need of a permanent family, the adoption tax credit helps families afford adoption, giving loving, safe, permanent homes to as many children as possible. But not every adoptive family can benefit from the Adoption Tax Credit and we need your help to fix that!

Thanks to the power of adoption advocates’ voices, Congress preserved the Adoption Tax Credit in 2017 when proposed tax reform would have eliminated it. Congress should now restore refundability to the credit to help even more children in need of a family. The Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act (S.2895/H.R.3662) makes that possible.

Adoption Tax Credit Advocates is a national collaboration of organizations and individuals united to support adoption by advocating to preserve and improve the adoption tax credit.

Congress needs to hear about how the adoption tax credit helps real families like yours. Help us make the adoption tax credit refundable – Take action now!
