Please join the effort of the Adoption Tax Credit Advocates to make the adoption tax credit refundable again. We are working with Members of Congress to bring back this vital resource for families who want to provide a permanent, loving home for waiting children.

Background

The adoption tax credit has made adoption a more viable option for many parents who might not otherwise have been able to afford adoption, allowing them to provide children with loving, permanent families. It helps many families, but could help many more families if it were refundable.  With over 120,000 children in U.S. foster care waiting to be adopted, and countless orphaned and abandoned children around the world, making the adoption tax credit refundable is vital to providing love, safety, and permanency to as many children as possible.

We hope you will join us in advocating to make the adoption tax credit refundable, which will allow it to aid lower- and moderate-income adoptive families as Congress intended! A refundable credit will do a better job of encouraging adoption and giving every child a better chance to have a permanent, loving family.
