Shameless plug...

I won't lie. We usually aren't a ton involved in what's going on with politics. Until it directly involves us. And this does. The Federal Adoption Tax Credit that has helped TONS and TONS of families adopt their children could potentially end in December. This is crazy! This tax credit is so necessary to the families who have or will be looking into adoption, to offset the insane costs of adoption. Without it, hopefully many families will still adopt, but will have to incur large amounts of debt, something that shouldn't happen to bring a child home. So please, if you have adopted, are adopted, or know someone that this would affect, take 10 minutes out of your day and do what this news bulletin we received says: (THANKS IN ADVANCE!)

If Congress does not act, the Adoption Tax Credit, as we now know it, will expire on December 31, 2012.

If the adoption tax credit helped you or someone you know to adopt a child or if it could help you in the future to adopt a child, PLEASE CALL YOUR U.S. CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE TODAY and urge that he or she cosponsor the bipartisan bill H.R. 4373, the Making Adoption Affordable Act.

Action:
You can reach your Representative by calling the U.S. Capitol Operator at 202.225.3121 and asking for your Representative's office. If you don't know your Representative's name, go to www.house.gov/representatives/find and enter your zip code in the box provided.

Message:
I am a constituent in your district and the Adoption Tax Credit is important to me. (It matters to me because...)
I urge the Representative to become a co-sponsor of H.R. 4373, The Making Adoption Affordable Act.
If Congress does not act the credit as we now know it will expire in December 2012.
H.R. 4373 is bipartisan and it supports all types of adoptions (domestic private, foster care, and international).
This tax credit has made adoption a more viable option for many parents who might not otherwise have been able to afford adoption, allowing them to provide children with loving, permanent families.
Thank you for your support of H.R. 4373.
