please support this bill!
As most of you know, the cost of adopting is very high. Currently the Federal Tax laws allow a credit of $10,000. There is currently a proposal to increase the federaladoption tax credit to $15,000 (which still doesn't cover the cost of the adoption, but it comes closer). I would like to ask you to contact your representatives asking them to support the bill.
The proposed bill is H.R. 1561. In May, 2006, the bill was referred to the House of Representatives' subcommittee on education reform. A related bill for the tax credit increase is H.R. 4866, which makes the needed changes to the internal revenue code. When contacting your congress person, you can mention both bills or just H.R. 1561.
To find out who your congressperson is, go to http://www.congress.org. You will need to enter your zip code in the "write your officials" box along the leftside of the page.
To learn more about the proposed bill for the increased tax credit,you can go to: http://thomas.loc.gov or http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bill.xc?billnum=H.R.1561&congress=109.
Thanks!
