Help Us Lobby for the Federal Adoption Tax Credit

The Federal Adoption Tax Credit makes adoption so much more affordable for people like us, that have chosen to grow our family through adoption. The current tax credit is due to expire in December of 2010. We hope to have completed our adoption by then, but you never know when we might try to adopt our second :-)

The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act of 2009, H.R. 213 will help the current tax credit from being replaced, and instead make it permanent. You can find out more information about this important Act by clicking this link.

You can also lobby for the Act by writing your your Representative or Senator.

No Doubt About It!

Hands down...without a doubt...couldn't be more true...We have the absolute best family and friends!

When we broke the news that we were adopting, we were knew that we would immediately get support from our friends and family. Well here we are, a couple of months later and we're still getting e-mails, notes, letters, phones calls all showing your support for us! It means the world to us. It is that encouragement and support that keeps us going.

Thanks for being such great family and friends!

We have been trying to get the nursery together. We are currenly on a standstill trying to decide whether or not paint. The room is beige and looks great with the dark furniture, but I'm still leaning toward yellow. We just can't decide. Plus we still have a bunch of boxes in there that we need to get rid of. So...it is still a work in progress!
