On Tax Day, April 17, Rep. Bill Braley (D-IA) introduced the Making Adoption Affordable Act, which would make the adoption tax credit permanent and refundable.
As Rep. Braley said at his press conference, “Renewing and expanding the adoption tax credit will help remove a barrier to more families deciding to adopt. It’s a small investment that provides a big return: getting more children into loving homes and out of the costly foster care system. When a policy puts more kids in loving homes and also saves taxpayers millions of dollars in the process, expanding it should be a bipartisan no-brainer.”
