Save The Adoption Tax Credit
June 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Dear Colleagues,
Save The Adoption Tax Credit is one of the most urgent and important initiatives Joint Council will make in 2012. We are actively participating in a number of initiatives designed to engage the US government in crafting policies favorable to families, children and intercountry adoption – the tax credit is at the top of the list. Simply put – without reinstating the tax credit, many families finalizing in 2012 and all families finalizing in 2013 will lose over $13,000 in tax credits. Obviously this will seriously impact the number of families willing and able to adopt children domestically, internationally or through the US Foster Care system.
Joint Council would like to thank its Partner organizations (listed below) who have signed on as members of the Adoption Tax Credit Working Group. While we are thrilled to have 37 of our Partners joining us, our goal is for 100% participation from our Partner base. If your organization has not yet joined the Adoption Tax Credit Working Group or you believe your organization has but is not listed above, please contact Shari Cohey at the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (shari@ccainstitute.org) and become a member of the Adoption Tax Credit Working Group today. The only way the Tax Credit will be reinstated is if we join together as a community.
