Thank you again!

Are you wondering who we are? The below link will help to see who we are and how we spend our days. It is our day to day blog/memory book and a way to keep our friends and family who live far away in touch with our family. Thank you again for considering helping us build our family.

About Us

Not always easy to do but we must swallow our pride and have the courage to ask others for help. We are dreaming of adding to our family. The joy of our 1st child and her adoption has been a miracle in our lives. We are dreaming of a sister. We will need to scrimp, save and fundraise to complete our adoption of another child. All the love is there, all the money is not. Would you consider helping make dreams come true?

If you can please take a moment to help. Thank you!

we petition the obama administration to:

Support HR 4373 and S 3616: Help make adoption affordable; keep the tax credit and make it refundable

Help make Adoption Affordable

The average cost to adopt a child is any where from $25k- $35k or more. Currently, The 2012 Tax Credit is not refundable for adoptions initiated after 2011, which means a large number of families are/were not able to get any of the $25k- $35k back and possibly prevent people from adopting a child at all.

In 2013 it will revert back to a maximum tax credit of $6,000 for parents adopting children with special needs only and there will be no adoption tax credit available in tax year 2013.
We are petitioning to make the adoption tax credit permanent and refundable, so that more money is available to families allowing them provide a financially stable home to the adopted child.

Currently, there are two bills HR 4373 and S3616 that support this petition.
