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 tax credit is non-refundable and is set to expire at the end of 2012.
Basically this means that if this doesn't pass, we will receive NO help from the federal government to help towards our adoption. If it does pass, this means a substantial amount of the costs to get our baby home will be refunded by the government.
It also means that if it doesn't pass, many other families considering adoption won't follow through because the costs are too high to tackle.
Please take a moment of your time today and tell your Representative to say YES to the MAKING ADOPTION AFFORDABLE ACT.

We are so thankful to be a part of a country that wants to help the 147 million orphans worldwide find a family!
