Please do not stop your advocacy fforts to make The Adoption Tax Credit REFUNDABLE. I am excited to say that the credit has indeed been made permanent; however, we want to continue advocating to make it REFUNDABLE! You can read more about it here: http://adoptiontaxcredit.org/.

Please join us in requesting the credit not only remain permanent but become REFUNDABLE!
I love speaking with families in every phase of their adoption journey. Each situation is as unique as the individuals involved. You may be contemplating an open adoption or closed adoption; a public agency, private agency or an independent adoption; a innerstate domestic adoption, an interstate domestic adoption or an international adoption; an infant, toddler, preschooler, tween or teen adoption; a step-parent adoption or an adult adoption. Alternatively, you may be interested in providing foster care or adopting through a foster-to-adopt plan. ... Or, you may not have been aware that there were so many different types of adoption!
Regardless of your preference, it is imperative that your adoption plan be specific to your situation and your comfort level. Because of that, I recommend you consult an attorney very early into your adoption journey to clearly express your specific adoption desires so that the attorney can help expain the various types of adoption to you in an effort to help you make an INFORMED decision.
If you are located in the State of Ohio and you are considering growing your family through any of these avenues, please contact the Cincinnati Law Office of Barbara Thornell Ginn at barbara@adoptatbtglaw.com or by clicking on the "Contact Us" page from this website.
