Rallying support for adoption funds. We are petitioning that this bill continue to gain more support!
come on minnesota!
This bill has helped my family in our adoption more than 7 years ago. We are currently in the process of growing our family through adoption. Those of you that have adopted or are going through the process recognize how important this tax credit is. I hope that all state representatives will carefully consider this bill and lend its support.
We are grateful for the assistance this has given our family in gaining 4 precious granddaughters. I know of many others who have adopted & received this tax credit. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to recoup part of the high cost of adoption. The cost is very, very high!
